thanks for the reply. Some more info: - system is RH Enterprise AS 4 update 4 - the soundcard is in a 64-bit PCI-X slot (so few soundcards fit at all) - pcm with ice1712 is working fine - I disabled /proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_oops, but it still rebooted the same way. Is there another way to prevent rebooting on panic or so? - by using printk with serial console, I could trace the reboot to occur at the very first outb() call in mpu401_uart.c:64 with data 0, addr 0x304C Is this likely to be a hardware incompatibility? On a 3rd machine with dual Xeon (same OS, same PCI slots, same soundcard), the computer freezes after successfully receiving a few MIDI bytes (between 4 and 30 bytes). Any hints where I can start debugging such a lock-up?
