I've got a beige G3/333 (Open Firmware 2.4) on which I'd like to use the 
"Line in" port for an NTP reference clock. My kernel is pretty much 
GENERIC, I've only hardwired root on wd0a because I netboot the kernel.

I have the following dmesg output:

I don't see anything about audio in this report, but looking at the 
kernel configuration file for GENERIC, I'd be inclined to say it's the 
awacs device, which is commented out. I'm not sure, though.

Could it be the swim3 device? It's not configured, and I don't know what 
it's about.

I see warnings in the kernel configuration file about lock-ups when awacs 
is configured and the system is under heavy load. Is this still true?

Thanks...
