My JVC mininote laptop has an inbuilt SiS modem 00:01.6 Modem [0703]: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] AC'97 Modem Controller [1039:7013] (rev a0) which is detected by the snd-intel8x0m driver but it always fails to initialise and spams the log file :- kernel: codec_semaphore: semaphore is not ready [0x1][0x1300] kernel:last message repeated 2 times kernel: codec_semaphore: semaphore is not ready [0x1][0x300] kernel:last message repeated 431 times kernel: AC'97 1 does not respond - RESET kernel: codec_semaphore: semaphore is not ready [0x1][0x300] kernel: codec_semaphore: semaphore is not ready [0x1][0x300] kernel: AC'97 1 access is not valid [0xffffffff], removing mixer. kernel: Unable to initialize codec #1 kernel: ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:00:01.6 disabled kernel: Intel ICH Modem: probe of 0000:00:01.6 failed with error -5 I never use the modem so I blacklisted the snd-intel8x0m module in modprobe.conf just to make the messages go away. I'm currently running the fedora 2.6.23 kernel but it has been broken for a long time. Is this fixable? or shall I just go on ignoring it ;) ? cheers Richard _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
