I have a Creative SoundBlaster Live! PCI (PCI-IDs: 1102:0002 and 1102:7002) which I recently ran into trouble with.

I used the SB Live! to replace my SB128 PCI which ran fine in the

configuration (ASUS P8B-C/4L, see attached output from dmesg and lspci). Once I swapped the sound cards, I booted up the machine and immediately ran into a kernel panic [1] which seems to indicate that there is a problem with interrupt sharing.

I there removed the Firewire card which was placed adjacent to the SB

Live and the machine ran stable again.

I assume that the snd_emu10k1 driver is sometimes not handling shared

interrupts properly, isn't it?

I wanted to report this as a bug in the ALSA bug tracker [2], but alas

the tracker is currently down.

I'm attaching the output of dmesg [3] as well as lspci [4]. Will provide

more information if requested.

on some of the asus motherboard, usually there is only one pci slot which don't share int with other on board devices
