there hasn't been a change in the audigy driver ;( Thanks for the update. Something in the new kernel however is causing problems with the Audigy, Mozilla and hanging the shutdown process: Activate the new kernel, problems occur, backout to previous kernel, problems go away. If there is additional doc you wish, please advise. I've found that shared PCI IRQs on the RedHat 2.4.20-xx.9 kernels are a bit more magic than science. To make this kernel work with my Athlon XP 2000+/AMD 760MPX system, I had to turn off my serial ports, parallel port and MPU 401 to free up IRQs so that my network, video (GeForce 4) and sound card (Audigy) would have different IRQs. On a Dell Server with Dual Pentium IIIs, I had to do basically the same thing. On one older system where the onboard sound and the AGP slot share interrupts regardless of the configuration, I haven't been able to make RedHat 9 work with sound even though 7.3 and 8.0 work fine. Try moving your network card to a different IRQ by changing the slot or turning off other devices. Make sure that your video card isn't on the same IRQ as the sound or network as well.

As the output of this program is used my mozilla's random number generator, mozilla problems are caused by this. Same problem here. Hangs when shutting down eth0, X doesn't start. Unusable kernel with my pentium IV 2.53GHz. Changing platform to "ALL" from "ATHLON" based upon additional comments. Changing severity from "Security" to "Normal". Similar problems here (Sony Z600 TEK laptop, was mostly fine with ~.9 kernel with the exception of issues with the PCMCIA CD ROM). The lockup on eth0 shutdown is particularly irritating.

lspci -v output
You can include me on this list also. * Sound Blaster Audigy no longer working * Shutting Eth0 caused machine to hang and needed manual power off * File system corrupted upon reboot and loading old kernel (magically fixed itself by physically shutting down the system rather than warm boot) * Highly annoying! http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/testkernels/ has a kernel with audigy fixed at least it had a baaad bug which could cause all other kinds of bad behavior.

lspci -v from Pentium IV 2.44 with 2 ethernet cards
Same problem with ethernet. I can disable either card, the problem will occur
with the other enabled card.
Same problem here. Dual Athlon MP 2100, Audigy sound card. When it boots, the audigy module is not loaded. When I modprobe it, I get a seg fault, and the module is left in "initializing" state according to lsmod. Then the network interface stops working (perhaps the audigy is eating the interrupts or something?) (eth0 is a tg3). Then I can't shutdown because it freezes trying to unload eth0. X/KDE does come up for me (though with /dev/dsp message), for what it's worth. Back to 2.4.20-9. Arjan, tested that new kernel, works for me. All problems are fixed on my pc (I also have an Audigy). Marco Arjan, I had similar problems with my Athlon+Audigy system. New kernel works without problems. An errata has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information on the solution and/or where to find the updated files, please follow the link below. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2003-187.html |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: Installed kernel-2.4.20-13.9 via UP2DATE. Upon reboot, sound device not available. When using Mozilla, brower hangs. Networking seems to function, however SHUTDOWN hangs on ETH0 and requires a POWEROFF to clear. I looked at the bug list that was supposed to have been fixed by this release which included issues with soundcards, ethernet. Apparently new bugs were introduced into the code. Backed out to kernel-2.4.20-9 and system functioning properly. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.4.20-13.9 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Shutdown system 2. Boot system using kernel-2.4.20-13.9 Actual Results: Same symptoms as described in description above. Expected Results: Same functionality as with kernel-2.4.20-9. Additional info: Since the new kernel was to address security issues with kernel-2.4.20-9 and I am unable to run kernel-2.4.20-13.9 I am classifying this bug as related to a security issue.
