What's going on here? I have similar problems, on a very
vanilla system: video, sound, ethernet, and PCI. I had
no problems for years; difficulties started after upgraging
the BIOS; or maybe this has nothing to do with things.

Running things by hand, "modprobe snd-card-0" and "modprobe sound-slot-0"
both go OK, but "modprobe sound-service-0-0" provokes the evil message:
driver-0.9.0beta12/alsa-kernel/core/oss/mixer_oss.c:995: unable to register OSS mixer
device 0:0, err=-16
"err=-16" is my own patch to the snd-mixer-oss module. The error is
-EBUSY; but it's not obvious to me what might be busy or what to do
about it.
Any further info will be gladly provided.
Many thanks:
