Re: More info on hard lock-ups with MIDI on envy24, x86_64 machine

Hi Lee,

I've done that now. If I boot the system, switch to a console with 
ctrl-alt-f1 and run nothing but:

strace seq24

it starts to go wrong after: 

open ("/dev/snd/seq", O_RDWR)

There are a bunch of lines beginning with ioctl, then the killer blow 
is dealt by:

ioctl (3, CDROM_DEBUG or SNDRV_SEQ_IOCTL_SUBSCRIBE_PORT

(This is retyped from hand-written notes of course). The machine is 
then locked up solid - it's very reproducible too, same output every 
time. 

> and there's no Oops output? 

Nothing at all appears in the console or in /var/log/messages. Should 
I try increasing the log level or something like that?

Cheers!

Daniel
