After booting the system, I found it would crash (blinking keyboard
lights) within a few minutes of starting xwindows. Upon seeing the
notes about the AC'97 driver causing problems, I commented it out from
the /etc/modules.conf and I have been stable (although mute) since.
The motherboard is an Intel D845GBV (uni-processor), and according to
Intel the (built in) sound controller (quoted from the spec sheet
http://www.intel.com/design/motherbd/bv/index.htm) "Audio subsystem for
AC '97 processing using the Analog Devices AD1981A codec featuring
SoundMAX Cadenza"
Although I don't have a copy of the oops message I'm sure if it would
help I can set up a serial console to catch it.
The lines I had in the /etc/modules.conf (that I commented out) are:
alias sound-slot-0 i810_audio
alias sound-slot-0-0 i810_audio
alias char-major-14 i810_audio
alias sound-slot-1 btaudio
pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S
>/dev/null 2>&1 || :
my .config file (for the sound) is:
# Sound
#
CONFIG_SOUND=m
# CONFIG_SOUND_ALI5455 is not set
# CONFIG_SOUND_BT878 is not set
# CONFIG_SOUND_CMPCI is not set

Let me know what else I can provide to help.
