I recompiled my kernel without ACPI support, and enabled APM instead. I'm afraid that I still see the semaphore errors. Is it worth going to an unstable kernel to try the latest ALSA from CVS? Is the latest ALSA likely to fix my problem or not? I've appended a paragraph from my original post. What happens? At boot time, sometimes the alsa modules fail to load. I get a message to the effect that the sound card is not ready or something similar, but I don't have an example of that message at hand, sorry. Other times, the card starts up fine. It plays for a while, often with sound (say, from a CD) a bit choppy. Then, after a while, it just stops, with the message Feb 25 09:27:09 euclid kernel: ALSA sound/pci/intel8x0.c:591: codec_write 0: sem aphore is not ready for register 0x2c Feb 25 09:27:09 euclid kernel: ALSA sound/pci/intel8x0.c:607: codec_read 0: sema phore is not ready for register 0x2c in /var/log/syslog.
