| |
Hello,
this patch for Kernel 2.4.19-rc3 removes the "break" that aborted the module init of i810_audio.o in case of "not ready" status before probing (line 2656-2663). On my Epox 4G4A+ mainboard with i845G chipset the ready status was always "0", so the module could not be loaded. After removing the "break" in line 2663 the module works great: loading, playing serveral MP3s, removing and reloading were no problem.
Perhaps someone can confirm this so the break could perhaps be removed in the final Kernel 2.4.19.
