[hsflinux] Crash report on amd64, intel hda

[Lewis Hopfe]

Jonathan,

1. I've now tried all of the init strings you suggested and I still
freeze. I get the same behavior when I visit a secure sites. It will
work for a bit and then lock up completely or I will receive the
General Protection fault message and my system will gradually fail.
Everything appears to fine for just routine surfing. 

2. I have tested uninstalling and reinstalling the driver and that
too is fine. I now feel very confident that there was another reason
why my sound system failed after my initial uninstall. The loss of
sound had nothing to do with the driver.



Thanks for your help.
