If there is a problem occuring with the open sound system, it is possible that diagnostic information has been written to the system log files that may help to [[troubleshoot]] the cause.
+
 
+
=== Sample log file data ===
+
 
+
Here is some sample data taken from the <code>/var/log/soundon.log</code> file of a non-working (Kernel486) system:

+
=== Diagnosis ===
+
 
+
In the above example, we can see PAT not supported by CPU. PAT WC disabled due to known CPU erratum. It turns out in this instance that there is a [[PAT]] related bug in the kernel, which is causing the [[segmentation fault]].
+
 
+
We can eliminate this fault by rebuilding the kernel with the following options:
+
 
+
MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support (MTRR) [Y/n/?] n
+
x86 PAT support (X86_PAT) [N/y/?] n
