freebsd stable - Oct 2004 - Is snd_via82c686.ko causing a system hang on 5.3-BETA7?

Hello..

As everyone else, I can't wait to run 5.3-STABLE, so I decided to install
the BETA7, in
order to get my sound working without compiling my kernel, I simply loaded the
/boot/kernel/snd_via82c686.ko module as well as the /boot/kernel/sound.ko
module.. Sure,
I got sound and they work flawless, then, when I tried to unload them, I did a
simple
"kldunload snd_via82c686" and I get an error that the device is busy
even if I'm not
using it, then if I try again, the whole system hangs.. Can anyone else who uses
that
driver test this for me to make sure it's not my hardware.


Best regards,
Jesper Wallin

Unloading the sound drivers can be Bad News (tm) :(
Stop doing it and the pain will go away ;)

So, for me it's working like a charm. Loading again works fine, too.
