IMHO, that is a must > from -- at least -- the advocacy point of view... >=20 Problems within ich driver does exist since eon (especially the DMA part). It was hidden until the recent improvement against the upper layer which trying to promote loud failure in case a bug within specific driver is triggered. My suggestions: 1) Enable full debugging support (INVARIANTS, WITNESS, DIAGNOSTIC) 2) Don't compile the driver within kernel, use the module instead. 3) Don't load the module during boot. Do it manually *after* finish booting (kldload sound ; kldload snd_ich) 4) I need your pciconf -lv ;) In case all above failed, try to revert your ich.c to revision 1.53 . -- Ariff Abdullah FreeBSD --Signature=_Tue__28_Feb_2006_02_51_55_+0800_bkwzDqnnxm6rhQCl Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFEA0pNlr+deMUwTNoRAo2rAKDFA18AGqCLlfY2U4kvretnWmIbjgCdGWaK 4DXHpGVbSokdF/xdkB4aKFY= =h3kM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Signature=_Tue__28_Feb_2006_02_51_55_+0800_bkwzDqnnxm6rhQCl--
