Problem when starting firefox-bin on 2.6.34.1

[specs]

I suggest you start a new thread with your problem since the problems posted here seem to be fixed.

Brad and the Pax-team will need some images, configurations and specific logs and/or error messages to produce a fix for your problem.

The traces in the logs (and the garbage on all terminals) are gone with the latest patch (grsecurity-2.2.0-2.6.34.3-201008112233)

Well it doesn't work for me, the problem is still the same with the latest patch

indeed, this bug wasn't fixed yet (and i found a related one since). since i'm a tad bit busy these days please be patient .

the latest patch should have the fix, can you guys confirm it?

[specs]

What I feared from the 2.6.34.[4-6] patches is confirmed with the 2.6.34.2-pax-test16 patch.

With 2.6.34.2-pax-test13 I get a message on the terminal right after starting "firefox youtube.com".
With 2.6.34.2-pax-test16 I get no message on the terminal but I find in the logfiles (only with the test16-kernel):

The playback of youtube movies is not possible because the sound is not initiated right. Playback of MP3 also does not work using mpg123.
The sound-problem is also visible sometimes when I start 2.6.34.4 with grsecurity (sometimes a reboot gives working sound) but I haven't seen the UNMUTE messages yet.
However I have not been able to use sound with 2.6.34.2-pax-test16 yet.

In short it seems one problem is fixed and a new one is shown. Unfortunately a less verbose problem.

Edit:
Above problem surfaces on a board with intel 945GC chipset, not on a netbook with 945GM.

can you confirm that vanilla linux works fine with your sound device?

[specs]

It seems to be a nasty bug. It does not show itself each time.

The first time starting vanilla (2.6.34.2) sound was fine, second time it did not work.
Also with the latest grsecurity patch it did not work the first time, but works after a reboot.

The UNMUTE messages seem to be specific for 2.6.34.2 (not only for pax/grsec).
Another message seems to be older than the bug (hda-intel: IRQ timing workaround is activated for card #0. Suggest a bigger bdl_pos_adj).
I saw it often in combination, but not enough times to draw conclusions (statistics).

At least it does not only show itself with pax/grsecurity.

I can't find the original dumps or remains in pax-test16 or the newer grsecurity patches.

[linkfanel]

the latest patch should have the fix, can you guys confirm it?

Yes, it disappeared with grsecurity-2.2.0-2.6.34.6-201009130754.patch. I also had a problem with my computer randomly freezing while browsing the internet, but so far so good, so it was probably related and is fixed now.
