Have you tried anything in between pre10-ac3 and
pre4? I know pre4 works
fine. I probably should post to the lkml with as much detail as we can
get (unless some kernel hacker is actually reading these messages).
I've tried every kernel from 2.4.20-pre5 up to 2.4.20-pre10, and again
2.4.20-pre10-ac3, which caused a lockup on my system in the past, this
afternoon. And I couldn't reproduce even _one_ lockup. I use another IDE
interface though: a cmd649 add-on controller. The lockups happened with
the onboard IDE interface (VIA KT333 chipset, vt8235 southbridge).
To add one more datapoint to the thread and (apparently good news): I'm
testing 2.4.20 (final) + lowlat + preempt + acpi + alsa + jack and the
computer seems to be chugging along nicely. This is with today's alsa. A
slighly older alsa did lock the computer after 5 or so minutes of jack
activity but I managed to reboot it with the sysrq magic key. With the
newest alsa I got jack + freqtweak + ams (with the demo patch) running
for 50 minutes until for some reason jack died due to a watchdog
interrupt. Not bad.
