kernel BUG at filemap.c:81!

[Pozsar Balazs]

Hi,

I'm running Yellow Dog Linx 2.3 on a PowerBook G4, with the ydl stock
2.4.19-4a kernel.
I just compiled and loaded the alsa 0.9rc3 driver. Shortly after testing
with mplayer :), I get this oops:

-------------------------->
ksymoops 2.4.1 on ppc 2.4.19-4a.  Options used
     -V (default)
     -k /proc/ksyms (default)
     -l /proc/modules (default)
     -o /lib/modules/2.4.19-4a/ (default)
     -m /boot/System.map-2.4.19-4a (default)

Warning: You did not tell me where to find symbol information.  I will
assume that the log matches the kernel and modules that are running
right now and I'll use the default options above for symbol resolution.
If the current kernel and/or modules do not match the log, you can get
more accurate output by telling me the kernel version and where to find
map, modules, ksyms etc.  ksymoops -h explains the options.

<----------------------------

I am not sure if the above ksymoops report is correct, tell me what can I
do for you.

The same problem exists with the newest alsa driver from cvs.

Is this a general kernel bug, or an alsa-bug?

thanks.
