I have also the same problem and I tried to remove the /sbin/update in inittab
but it didn't solve the problem. I also tried kernels 2.2.5 and 2.2.9.
I have an SBAWE32 which is very similar to SBAWE64. Maybe it cames from that
soundcard. Does anyone has the same problem with another soundcard? does anyone
has an AWE32/64 and no problem?
