I'm running openSUSE 10.2 on Linux 2.6.18.8-0.5-default i686
athlon. This morning I booted, kdm started as usual, I logged on
to KDE but the desktop was largely not initialized from my
settings: none of my wallpapers, icons, taskbar items. Also,
there was no sound. I logged out of KDE, logged on to Gnome, the
desktop was ok but still no sound. I logged back on to KDE, and
now desktop was there but still no sound. I rebooted, and now the
desktop and sound are both there and everything seems fine. In
/var/log/messages there are some disconcerting entries from the
first boot:

Was this some sort of random hiccup or something to be concerned
about, maybe a hardware problem?
