I have two systems that use the alsa hda-intel driver, both show
regressions in relation to MSI.
System 1: Athlon(tm) X2 BE-2400 with an AMD RS690/SB600 chipset
00:14.2 Audio device [0403]: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel
HDA) [1002:4383]
(Mainboard is a MSI MS-7368)
After upgrading from 2.6.31 to 2.6.33 I get a delay during bootup:
[ 1.155925] HDA Intel 0000:00:14.2: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level,
low) -> IRQ 16

[ 7.392508] hda_intel: azx_get_response timeout, switching to

[ 7.430464] ALSA device list:
[ 7.431549] #0: HDA ATI SB at 0xfe7f4000 irq 16
[ 7.432656] #1: HDA ATI HDMI at 0xfe9e8000 irq 27
2.6.34-rc2 does not boot on this system, something related to the new
bootmem allocator, so I can't say if this might already be fixed for
2.6.34.
Should the system be blacklisted like the two Asus Athlon X2 boards,
or is this some other bug?
System 2: Opteron(tm) 2218 with an nVidia MCP55 chipset
00:06.1 Audio device [0403]: nVidia Corporation MCP55 High Definition
Audio [10de:0371] (rev a2)
(Mainboard is an ASUS KFN5-D SLI)
Commit 80c43ed724797627d8f86855248c497a6161a214 disabled MSI for this
system, but the MSI mode was working fine for all 2.6.33 versions I
used.
Should the generic blacklist disable MSI for all Athlon X2 instead of
all nNvidia chipsets?
If you need more information, please ask, I will try to provide
anything you need.
Thanks, Torsten
