[X31]

I get the same problem on my Opteron system with a Vortex 2 PCI card (au8830):

Upon modprobing the snd-au8830 driver, I get:

[crazycat]

check System.map to see what's that address(ffffc20000354018) is pointing to.

[X31]

I checked my system.map for (ffffc20000354018) but found nothing. Not sure if this is relevant, but checked /proc/kallsyms for that address and found nothing either. I woud post them, but they are very long files (~3000 lines) so if you need them, I can e-mail them to you.

Googling around I found this unfinished thread:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/openvortex-dev/2004-11/msg00000.html

Any thoughts?

So eventually I got this working by applying some patches from the open vortex website. It seems the issue had to do with porting to AMD64.

The patches can be found at http://savannah.nongnu.org/patch/?func=detailitem&item_id=3948

After applying the patch on the kernel and fixing some definition issues, it compiled and works fine (running on gentoo-sources 2.6.15).
