Re: SiS/Trident 4DWave sound driver oops

More on this kernel oops with the SiS/Trident 4DWave driver.

Went and compiled 2.4.9 and 2.4.7 without module symbol versions, and tried
the trident module from 2.4.7 in 2.4.9. Exactly the same oops that happened
with the 2.4.9 module, so it may not explicitly be the driver, but
something it relies on, like the ac97_codec.

When I used insmod, it only complained about the kernel revisions, and
nothing about symbols, so I'm guessing the interface didn't change much, if
at all, so I used the -f option to force a load, producing an oops.

Interestingly enough, with 2.4.9. and 2.4.9 loading the 2.4.7 trident
module, lsmod reports that while the trident driver is using ac97_codec,
ac97_codec has 0 modules using it.

eg: (hand typed, but accurate)
trident 24448 1 (initializing)
soundcore 3812 1 [trident]
ac97_codec 8864 0 [trident]

Hope this helps.
