Hello,
this patch for Kernel 2.4.19-rc3 removes the "break" that aborted the module
init of i810_audio.o in case of "not ready" status before probing (line
2656-2663).
On my Epox 4G4A+ mainboard with i845G chipset the ready status was always "0",
so the module could not be loaded. After removing the "break" in line 2663
the module works great: loading, playing serveral MP3s, removing and reloading
were no problem.
Perhaps someone can confirm this so the break could perhaps be removed in the
final Kernel 2.4.19.
