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
