Description of problem: Audio drivers frequently don't load Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.23.14-115.fc8-i686 How reproducible: About 50% of boot attempts Steps to Reproduce: 1. Normal boot (from hard drive) 2. 3. Actual results: Audio drivers don't load (no sound) Expected results: Sound expected Additional info: After failure, the soundcard detection menu is opened and audio drivers reloaded, followed by reboot. Success usually occurs within 1-5 subsequent reboots, reloading the drivers as described each time.
Created attachment 295006 [details] current fie (audio OK). Earlier file attached to bug 432258. Will resubmit with non-working audio if requested.
Ran another test: Simply rebooting several times produces the same result; no need to attempt to reload drivers as previously described. Sometimes OK on initial boot, sometimes takes as many as 5 reboots. Success appears to be random.
Created attachment 295508 [details] recent portion of /var/log/messages Seems to indicate a random uart/interrupt problem. Not sure what to do next.
Created attachment 295702 [details] latest snips from /var/log/messages, dmesg. Latest attachment seems to be the best collection of clues.
Problem seems to have vanished since receiving the latest automatic updates. I'll consider it fixed unless it reappears.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
