Subject: BUG in >=1.0.13rc1
Date: Wed, 27 Dec 2006 16:00:22 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061227220022.GB28449@volumehost.com> (raw)

I own a toshiba L35 laptop, with a ATI SB450 sound card in it.

This card functions "adequately" with alsa 1.0.12.
it gets the "
ALSA /usr/src/alsa-driver-1.0.12/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:213: hda_codec: invalid dep_range_val 0:7fff
" errors scrolling off the screen, as reported by others,
and plays through the speakers only. this laptop has a mic (untested) and a headphone jack. plugging headphones in does stop the speakers, but dosent produce sound through the headphones.

however, switching to 1.0.13rc1 or newer (tried up to 1.0.14rc1) causes a kernel panic right after those errors stop.
sound does not function in these versions.

I've tried the disable_msi=1 option, however, i was not getting a "nobody cared" message before, and turning this option on does nothing.
So, i'm thinking this dosent have to do with the MSI changes recently.

the panic is as follows:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
 printing eip:
f8b7b4e8
*pde = 00000000
Oops: 0002 [#1]

(ignore the second TI cardbus controller, its a replacement wireless card)

the kernel .config is stolen from debian's 2.6.18-3-686 package, and the source is debian's linux-source-2.6.18.

i'm on list for the duration of this issue.
