hi all ! My uptime in Linux doesn't really go over 2 days... why ? Because there is some very deep driver issue with my audio hardware, VIA 8237 audio. That is when working, my sound system suddenly fails, and starts to produce noise. - the problem is so deep that even "init 6" - full restart doesn't helps ! ! I still hear that noise even in GRUB Bootloader, where should be no sound at all ! ! ! That is very old bug, affecting SUSE Linux 10.0 and maybe earlier... link: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=263022 Platform: openSUSE 10.2, 32-bit, AMD Sempron, VIA KM400 chipset, VIA 8237 audio, 1GB of RAM. Things that help: -Reboot into Windows, (windows drivers seem to restart my audio hardware) -System shutdown via init 0, and then cold-start any ideas? -- -Alexey Eremenko "Technologov" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
