Hi all
In the last week I have updated the kernel on our laptop to 2.6.15-rt16.
By and large this worked well and had the attractive side effect of making
the clock run at the correct speed once more.
During development of an ALSA patch I had the need to remove and reinsert
the hda-intel and hda-codec modules on numerous occasions. Every so often
(perhaps once every 5 or 6 times on average) the initialisation sequence of
hda-intel would get hung up and the associated insmod would never return. A
reboot was required to clear the problem. The following messages were
written to syslog repeatedly and often:
Feb 5 21:36:24: ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_intel.c:511: azx_get_response timeout
Feb 5 21:36:26 halite last message repeated 9 times
Feb 5 21:36:29 halite kernel: printk: 31 messages suppressed.
I have noticed the "azx_get_response timeout" messages in earlier kernels
as well, but up until now the hda initialisation hasn't gotten hung up.
The latching up of the hda-intel initialisation does not appear to occur
when doing the same thing under a non-RT 2.6.15 kernel. Furthermore, I have
had an instance where the lockup occured while cold-booting an unmodified
2.6.15-rt16, which rules out any changes I made to ALSA as the cause of the
problem. In any case the changes I was making to ALSA don't affect the
initialisation code.
Prior to this kernel I was running an unmodified 2.6.14-rt21 kernel and
while these messages did occur they didn't cause hda-intel to lock up.
Any suggestions as to what might be causing this and/or of further tests
which might help narrow down the cause?
Regards
jonathan
