NM256 load module problem

NM256 load module problem

[Chuckles]

Hello all,
    I realise this problem has been reported many times but I haven't
seen (found) a solution to it as of yet. I am running a 2.4.20-8
custom kernel using the 1.0.9a alsa cvs release. My system is a
latitude cpi a366xt using the NM256av card. Loading the snd-nm256
module still causes a kernel lockup every 2 out of 3 loads, the lockup
seems to happen everytime when loaded without X running. Is there any
solution to this??? I have tried various solutions I have found
searching google and the alsa-devel mailing list. I have seen that
upgrading to a 2.6.7 kernel fixes this problem completly, I am in the
process of upgrading but would prefer not to if possible (I am using a
56k modem for internet connection) if there is an alternative
solution. Is there any way I can help with debugging this problem/
finding a solution?? Any information you could give me that might help
with solving this nasty bug would be much appreciated.
