Maybe another thing I should mention, and I have no idea if it is related or not, is that everytime I turn on my computer, the audio is muted. I use the Gnome volume control and unmute all the different options, and crank the volume up.

My 32 bit system. I did a complete switch to 64 bit, when my old hard drive started failing. The other thing that changed, is I purchased 2 SATA hard drives, and I now use software RAID-1 between them. Does it crash even with idle cpu, when listening some music, or when playing 3D games, or when doing some cpu and/or I/O intensive tasks? It will only crash when audio is playing. If I leave it idle it won't crash, but if I leave it playing music it will eventually crash. Sometimes within a minute, other times within a few hours. This sounds more like a hardware problem to me. What kind of power supply does the box have? I'll have more time tomorrow and I'll open up my case and get back to you on that.

I guess that is a little inconsistent between different kernels if one has the functionality built in and another has it as a module. Maybe a slight change in the error message of ethereal would help, or since ethereal has root privileges could it just directly run system(modprobe capability);.
