Re: [Openvortex-dev] Howto use a patch....

Manuel,

  I just experienced a lockup that is similar to the problems I was having with 
Savage.  I had a flash video playing in my browser and all of the sudden- it 
froze.  I ched dmesg and got this error:

vortex: IRQ fifo error
vortex: IRQ fifo error
vortex: IRQ fifo error
vortex: IRQ fifo error
vortex: IRQ fifo error
vortex: IRQ fifo error
vortex: IRQ fifo error
vortex: IRQ fifo error
Vortex: vortex_fifo_setadbctrl fail

There were 8 instances of it, as shown above, followed by the final message.

I also checked "cat /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/sub0/status" and it showed that 
the device was open, even when I wasn't playing anything through it.  After 
about 5 minutes, it timed out and said "closed" on the 
/proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/sub0/status file, but attempting to play anything else 
still resulted in failure, as the DSP seems to be locked up.

Might this be related to the VIA bug?  I am using this an an VIA KT600 based 
chipset, though I never had this problem on my KT133a (even before the fix was 
implemented into the drivers a few months back).
