It looks like this bug has been fixed in the driver update as per kernel 2.5.64 Quoted from the kernel changelog. Which appears to be the problem I have been having. I think this is happening in earlier versions of Redhat as well (specifically 8.0 and possibly 7.3) <mulix> [PATCH] trident 1/3 fix "did not come out of reset" The M5451 can sometimes not come out of reset. This is non fatal and it continues to work fine, so print a nasty message but don't fail the driver initialization. <mulix> [PATCH] trident 2/3 make me the maintainer Make Muli Ben-Yehuda the maintainer for trident as per Alan's suggestion <mulix> [PATCH] trident 3/3 use pr_debug instead of TRDBG use the standard pr_debug macro instead of TRDBG
I have the same problem on Acer Travelmate 525txv, but did not have it in RH8.0. The computer totally freezes during modprobe.
It works with ALSA-drivers from http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/redhat/testing/phoebe/.
85930 is the same thing.
Fixed in errata kernel
