It seems you are trying to load both dmasound_pmac and alsa
snd-powermac, they are mutually exclusive.

That's a strange thing that appeared with one snapshot of test11
and disappeared with the next one afaik. I don't have a good explanation. It
definitely doesn't happen on my laptops, and the logs I got from users seemed
to indicate that the PMU chip (which controls the keyboard on those laptops)
was actually the one sending a spurrious 0x7f event (power key). It may be
something we do that triggers that though I haven't been able to find out
what.

If it happens reproduceably, you may want to disable whatever userland
daemon you have that triggers sleep when you press the power key. (I
suppose pbbuttonsd).

Ben.
