Comment 1 Marcus Meissner 2005-09-12 08:50:09 UTC

can you get the oops text in some way?

Comment 2 Michael Gross 2005-09-12 09:27:29 UTC

Also please be more verbose. When exactly does your system crash and how does it
crash? Does it happen within YaST or after the sound-driver is loaded (does YaST
crash itself)?

Also attach the YaST-logs (http://http://www.opensuse.org/Bug_Reporting_FAQ#YaST).

The oops should be retrievable by the system log, so please attach the last 500
lines after the error occoured:

Comment 5 Ladislav Slezák 2005-09-13 09:22:09 UTC

Takashi, it seems that the problem is in ALSA.

FYI Yast uses this config: 

[$["bus":"pci", "bus_id":"0000:01:00.1", "model":"Latitude CPi A",
"module":"snd-nm256", "options":$["force_ac97":"0", "use_cache":"0",
"vaio_hack":"0"], "unique_key":"NXNs.u5BP_nU6GR9"]]

Comment 6 Takashi Iwai 2005-09-13 09:47:09 UTC

Yes, it's a known bug.  But it's hopelessly hard to debug this chipset.
We have no hardware around here and no datasheet at all.  The existing driver
was a result of ugly reverse engineering.

Comment 7 Takashi Iwai 2006-01-11 16:34:05 UTC

Could you try 10.0 update kernel?  This might be fixed with that.

Comment 8 Takashi Iwai 2006-04-19 14:12:29 UTC

The problem is fixed with 10.1 kernel.
