Re: Hsfmodem and extra RAM making Linux frreze....

Hi John,

      Some extra info about it:

     1) When hsfengine and all other hsf drivers are not loaded at
boot time, but after that, they are loaded correctly, although, in
this case, the modem doesn't work;
     2) When snd-hda-intel is loaded during the boot or after that the
kernel the same error occurs. In the boot task,
it freezes kernel, after that, the sound driver just doesn't load.

     Hope it helps.

    SNH
