Re: Crash report on amd64, intel hda

Jonathan,

I wasn't keeping notes about what I tried to do with the previous
driver and the install/uninstall. Sorry. What I can tell you is this:
1. I installed the driver from the script. This was a departure for
me as I have always built an rpm in the past. 
2. I used the hsfconfig --uninstall to get rid of it. 

This morning I installed the 7.68.00.01 version. I went back to
building the RPM myself and I've noticed a couple of differences.
1. I can hear the modem dialing. This didn't work in 7.68.00
2. I still get the freeze-ups, but it seems to be happening to me at
https: sites. Previously, this was happening at all sites.
3. I haven't run into any freeze-ups doing routine surfing to regular
http: sites.

I've tried the first two init strings you suggested and surfed to
https: sites. In both cases the machine will froze. On one occasion I
received a General Protection fault: 0000 [1] SMP in a terminal
window. This was the same error I was receiving with the 7.68.00
version I initially wrote about. I think I said memory protection
fault in my first post. Sorry about that.

I'll try the other initialization strings when I get a chance. I
don't quite have the courage to uninstall the RPM's for the driver. I
really don't want to lose sound again. I suppose at some point I'll
give it a shot, and I know I'll have to if you update the driver!

Thanks for your help
