Probably no one has tested CONFIG_VIDEO_SAA7134=y. There is some more brokenness there: 1) With CONFIG_VIDEO_SAA7134=y, both saa7134-alsa.o and saa7134-oss.o will be built into the kernel, but only the first of them has any chance to be used - the second will stay as dead code. 2) Both saa7134-alsa and saa7134-oss set dmasound_init and dmasound_exit function pointers to their functions (for handling of saa7134 cards hotplugged later), but they do not reset these pointers on unload - therefore if you load one of these modules, then unload it, then try to hotplug a saa7134-based card (apparently there are CardBus implementation), you will get oopses. These assignments in saa7134-alsa and saa7134-oss also stomp on each other. > Kernels up to 2.6.14.4 boot fine, 2.6.15-rc1 is the one that introduced > the problem. > > I must give saa7134.card=6 at the lilo prompt for getting my card > working. -ECHEAPHARDWARE (sadly, boards without EEPROM are too common).
