After a bit of messing around I have the 2.6.23-mm1 running on my core-2 box note: Ubuntu's make-kpkg on the mm1 tree resulted in a system that wouldn't boot past the intrd. Looks like the pivot root failed or something. Anyway, I'm not reproducing your experience, snd_pcm is loaded. I don't know none of the WARN's are not hitting on my box. do you have some configuration information that could help me reproduce the issue? > > > I'll change the PM_QOS params patch to use blocking notifiers and test > > on a 64bit boot and see what happens.
