The problem is 'solved'. To me it's no solution, since - as I wrote in the OP - I hadn't done any changes. Running for months and just apt-get update / upgrade. And then it *must not* break on Sarge. This is what I found in dmesg: ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:00:1f.5[B] -> GSI 7 (level, low) -> IRQ 7 unable to grab IRQ 7 Intel ICH: probe of 0000:00:1f.5 failed with error -16 And /proc/interrupts were identical; showing IRQ 7 to be occupied by LPT0:, contrary to what lspci makes me believe. I rebooted and disabled the Parallel Port at reboot and now everything is back to normal. Better said: 'normal'; because there is no inherent necessity to load the audio controller to IRQ7; and neither does it complain; I ask you to read the dmesg properly: ACPI has its problems with it. This is how it looks when working properly: ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:00:1f.5[B] -> GSI 7 (level, low) -> IRQ 7 0: 66676279 XT-PIC timer 1: 22 XT-PIC i8042 2: 0 XT-PIC cascade 7: 170589 XT-PIC Intel 82801DB-ICH4, Intel 82801DB-ICH4 Modem 8: 4 XT-PIC rtc 9: 0 XT-PIC acpi 11: 9023557 XT-PIC eth0, ehci_hcd, uhci_hcd, uhci_hcd, uhci_hcd, y enta, yenta, ohci1394 12: 58 XT-PIC i8042 14: 182138 XT-PIC ide0 Since I don't need the local LPT0:, I shall leave this 'solution' in place. But someone else might hit this bug / trap elsewhere; so beware ! Thanks again, Uwe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
