You don't happen to have a VIA chipset on your motherboard do you? There
is a hardware bug with the VIA that causes a total freeze up ocassionally
when doing DMA (esp. with sound). the AC kernels, since 2.1.129 (IIRC)
have a work around for that bug (you must enable PCI quirks). I was going
crazy with it too.
