    1. quite impossible due to the fact of exceedingly
high rate at which this trace is running:
  30 rows/second approx, and the impossibility to
  switch consoles/use gpm for cut/paste...

    2. i will, but results - tomorrow (GMT+3), since i`ll leave
  2.4.9 compilation to night (i tried twice, but failed
  because of infamous compile errors of ntfs and irda).

I can recommend you to use some kind of serial parallel console.
(I can even borrow you one if you are in Moscow)

Leave out ntfs and irda this time, or apply patches that were already published.

Try pressing the scroll lock key.

  ISA Creative SB16/ Zida 5DVX/ NO persistant DMA buffers.
But i think its all unrelated, due to the fact, that
2.4.7 is okay for me since it came out...

_maybe_ i can, but i think the value of the infinite
call trace can be argued, besides it will be quite hard
to realise... :)
i say maybe, because when this shit happens, alt+sysrq
combo doesnt seem to work, so it hardly can be that
scrolllock works. as i said console switching is dead
too, so i doubt other console-controlling keys will do.

2.4.8/2.4.8-ac7 sound crashes

[Samium Gromoff]

        I do not know if this problem is reported already,
    since i read lkml thru web-archive, with accompanying
update delays.

    2.4.8 dies after ~1/2 minute of mpg123 playback,
    with tty switching freeze, and typing out 
    continuously (i`d say infinitely) call trace.

        ac7 acts this way too, but before death
    sound stalls *some* times, i then each time restart
    the proggie which emits it. This pattern survives
    4-5 stalls, after which - final trace dump.

    gcc-2.95.3, sb16 - genuine, vanilla ac7, vanilla 
    2.4.8.

    further information upon request.

no problems like this for me.
GCC 2.95.3, SB16 "Value" (don't ask me why they named it that, it's just 
like a regular SB16 ISA as far as I can tell), vanilla 2.4.8, mpg123 is 
version 0.59r, says june 15th 1999, I'll see if there's a newer version. 
I also use XMMS and it works fine.

What motherboard are you using? is the SB16 PCI or ISA? if it's ISA do 
you have persistant DMA buffers enabled in the kernel? (not sure if that 
would cause this or not)
