Intel ICH3/Yamaha

[Derek Young]

Remember that Intel ICH3 card with the ACPI BIOS 
problem? Rofl, it isn't really fixed..

See, yesterday when it was working.. I was 
amazed. When I got home from work it wasn't 
working.. so I retraced my steps.

See, I work at an ISP. I was downloading some of 
the FreeBSD ISOs to setup a remote kgdb machine 
on a box I wasn't using at home.

Apparently the 300KB/sec traffic or so was 
generating a lot of pci interrupts which made 
the card go fine. When I'm downloading a huge 
file really quickly sound works good.

When I move my mouse around a lot sort sort of 
works.

When I don't do anything not hooked up to the 
net, sound barely works. I get those PCM 
interrupt timeout messages on dmesg and choppy 
sound. Just as before.

Sorry about the false positive report. But maybe 
this will help. I think i'll set up some ddos 
tools and dos my box during the day so I can 
listen to music, rofl.

Now, the laptop that has this card does not have 
a serial port.. so as far as the ICH3/Yamaha 
goes I can't remote kgdb it.. but is there 
anything from ddb that I can do to help you? I 
have that setup and working.
