OK - I'm away from the machine at the moment (it's back at home) - I'll boot
the old kernel verbosely and send the results back. Mind you, when I start to
fire up the X server and have it load up DRI & glx modules, it crashes the
machine. The mga module (when I preload it) complains that it needs the agp
module in the bootup messages.

Yeah - I think there's some warts lurking in the sound code somewhere. It's odd, becuase the interrupts from the sound device are still coming in at the expected rate - just not any sound, like it's bufferring from some random chunk of clear memory.
