Subject: kernel 2.4.26 oops (maybe solved)
Date: Wed, 21 Jul 2004 23:26:22 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <40FF33DE.6010307@att.net> (raw)

After trying many h/w and s/w configurations, I've apparently isolated 
my instability issues to using the following the linux kernel highmem 
options: CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G=y, CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y, CONFIG_HIGHMEMIO=y.  I 
have 1GB ram, so maybe one of my dimms is bad or maybe there's a highmem 
bug in the 2.4.X kernel.

The crashes in my previous emails today were due to using the latest 
alsa modules (loaded, but not used by any application) with a HIGHMEM 
enabled kernel.  I appear to have no problem using alsa when HIGHMEM is 
disabled.  Apparently, I'm not the only one having problems with alsa 
and highmem 
(http://www.mail-archive.com/alsa-user@lists.sourceforge.net/msg13918.html).

I would be willing to work with a kernel developer to better isolate 
this problem and test a patch.

Thank you,


Peter Santoro
