In the Babbage1 case, the kernel, rootfs, and initrd are unchanged. I have changed redboot only. So no kernel config changes or changes to the initrd scripts/modules. ifconfig shows a loopback device in the failing case. And networking is working. In the Babbage2 case there is no initrd, so ye

I also have replicated the bug using the vmlinuz and initrd from /boot. I copied them to a host machine, used "gzip -d" to decompress the initrd, and uploaded them using tftp with redboot, adding the unchanged exec line. So I really think the only change here (in the Babbage1 case) is redboot, not

It appears that it is the vorbis decode that gets behind. If I change the login sound to be a 7 second sine uncompressed wav file in the Sound Preferences, the sine wave plays flawlessly. So I think this is a priority problem where the vorbis decoder gets behind because too much stuff is happenin

Thanks. My guess: two types of problems at this point: the changes to how the rootfs handles audio and issues with the audio driver as a module. I'll debug the audio driver module problems. For now, I recommend you try building the driver into the rootfs so that you can debug the rootfs issues.
