The system is an Athlon 1200, ECS K7AMA with ALi 1645 northbridge and
Magic 1535D+ southbridge, Inno3D GeForce 2 GTS 32MB, onboard RTL8139
network, 512MB PC133, and 2 harddrives in a software RAID-1
configuration. Also running a Promise Ultra 66 controller. The ECS
website says "AC97 Audio Codec compliant with AC97 2.1 specification".
Software is based on Red Hat Linux 7.1: currently kernel 2.4.7, gcc
2.96, glibc 2.2.2, modutils-2.4.6.
The sound system is loaded as modules (although an identical config with
the sound code compiled in also gives an oops). I can boot fine on
2.4.12. Logging to a terminal in as root, I can issue a "modprobe
sound" and "modprobe ac97_codec" with no problems.
System log from immediately after issuing "modprobe trident":

------------------
and immediately after this the oops begins. I'm just guessing, but the
"Unknown" readings for the AC97 codec type seem strange, however
checking my logs for my working 2.4.7 shows the same identification.
Also, as far as the AC97 CODEC reads/writes timing out, they also occur
on my 2.4.7 kernel within the first 2-3 seconds of loading the module,
but it works fine after that. Here's the ksymoops output from the OOPS:
----------------
ksymoops 2.4.0 on i686 2.4.12. Options used
-V (default)
-k /proc/ksyms (default)
-l /proc/modules (default)
-o /lib/modules/2.4.12/ (default)
-m /boot/System.map-2.4.12 (default)
Warning: You did not tell me where to find symbol information. I will
assume that the log matches the kernel and modules that are running
right now and I'll use the default options above for symbol resolution.
If the current kernel and/or modules do not match the log, you can get
more accurate output by telling me the kernel version and where to find
map, modules, ksyms etc. ksymoops -h explains the options.
Warning (compare_maps): mismatch on symbol partition_name , ksyms_base
says c01b94b0, System.map says c014a370. Ignoring ksyms_base entry
