I thought with this latest discussion, I'd dig into it a little more to find out what the problem was. I started to try to use the sound driver from the console (rather than a xterm) to see just what's going on. It seems a little more obvious to me now what's happening. I provoked the sound driver from single-user mode by doing cat /bin/cat > /dev/audio I'm getting a "panic: isa_dmastart: bad bounce buffer". I finally managed to get a good core dump of the system and here's what I see; ignore the first few stack frames which is the reboot invoked from DDB.

The only bounce buffer initialized is for DMA channel 2, for the floppy disk controller. For completeness: (kgdb) p addr $9 = 0xf1cea000 "\221" (kgdb) p nbytes $10 = 32768 (kgdb) I looked high and low, but didn't see any place where isa_dmainit is called to initialize the bounce buffer for the DMA channels used by the GUS. How does this ever work on systems with greater than 16MB of memory? Is there some mechanism which is supposed to allocate DMA friendly memory for the sound driver's use? I'm running a -current kernel that's based on code a day or two old. The kernel config for the GUS board is: controller snd0 device gus0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 11 drq 5 flags 0x7 vector gusintr Any pointers would be very much appreciated. I have the core dump file and kernel image around, so I can grovel around for any additional information as required. I really would like to get good, reliable sound running on this system...

To piggyback on this since I'll be documenting the gus too -- that would be neat! We could put our heads together on it. My gus has to get here first. 'we'll ship it ups ground, ups says it takes 8-10 days but since we're in washington state it should take less.' heh, not.

Actually, their case got re-affirm by at least OmniMedia claiming that the Meteor and their card exhibit the same problem -- originally I think Intel didn't pay that much attention to Omnimedia. Actually, an OmniMedia, Matrox Meteor hardware engineer or an Intel hardware engineer involved with the Natoma chipset can step in and clarify the issue . It would be awfully nice if Intel clarifies the issue before the press gets hold of this one --- that is if it is indeed a Natoma chipset problem. As to how to get your existing motherboard fix or your money back from your vendor -- who knows . Intel : deny , silence , then announces new chip revision 8) Look I am way out of my league in trying to analyze the low level PCI protocol which tv and vic generates and yes I have taken a look at vic & tv and there is still no software work around.

The patch files are installed when you install the GUS software under DOS.
