Can you post the full kernel log up to this BUG?
It should show that causes the Taint.

oh - yes:

Mar 23 09:12:20 opensuse103 kernel: ac97_codec: module license 'unspecified' taints kernel.

modinfo ac97_codec
filename:       /lib/modules/2.6.25-rc6-git7-default/kernel/sound/oss/ac97_codec.ko
srcversion:     8665939D5E471F7E331BB3E
depends:
vermagic:       2.6.25-rc6-git7-default SMP mod_unload 586


seems MODULE_LICENSE is missing in ./sound/oss/ac97_codec.c !?

It was recently removed for some reason.

I get the impression that you (we) should be using ALSA drivers/codecs
instead of the OSS ones that in the process of being removed.


CCing Dave Brownell.

uh, "known problem": multiple rtc drivers are being run.

I don't really understand why we haven't been able to fix this - there have
been numerous reports..
i will take a closer look to determine how/when this happens.
I thought that David B. sent a (Kconfig ?) patch for this...

do you mean this one ?

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=55ff1aba940ff46d4f6d4fd790ea3e1a47aaa84f

ok, it may be sort of "dumb" to blindly load one module after the other but i would expect a more meaningful message.

No, I meant something else, but I can't find it just now.
