[gentoo-user] Trrouble with ALSA

[Jesper Blauendahl]

I have a ASUS A7V8X-X motherboard with onboard sound through the VIA 
VT8235 southbridge so I've tried using the snd-via82xx ALSA driver to 
get sound. I've followed the guide on the gentoo homepage and everything 
seemed to go smoothly. At boot time I get a message that says that ALSA 
is starting with the right driver and no error messages and Gnome also 
starts without the "can't find /dev/sound/mixer" error. I'm able to play 
CD's  and such so everything is fine untill I look at dmesg. I get this 
near the end:

valid [0x87e5370]

The line is repeated that many times. Does anybody know what the problem is?
