I've tried with ac6. Immediate cs46xx unloading now works. But problem with xmms still remains. Now instead single 'Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer...' i had flow of 'cs46xx: ERROR DAC count<0 or count > dmasize (-4160)' ( number in parenthesis may vary ). Such messages increases uptime on my machine to 2.00. Alan Cox wrote: > Wait for ac6, try that and let me know > ----------------- Good luck! Nicholas L. Nigay
