you need this (see below) to avoid lockups with the aureal/nvidia
combination. this is because the aureal card is a major bus hogger and so
is the nvidia graphics card. ATI and 3dfx cards do NOT need this
workaround, but it's good to have nonetheless:
# load sound module and set PCI register a la WPCREDIT to prevent hangs
/sbin/modprobe sound
/sbin/setpci -d 12eb:0002 40.B=ff
^^^^^^^^^
2nd line above would differ depending on what model of Aureal card you
have, you can use lspci -n to show the number, e.g.
[orly@yuna orly]$ /sbin/lspci
..snip..
00:0c.0 Multimedia audio controller: Aureal Semiconductor Vortex 2
00:0d.0 Ethernet controller: Davicom Semiconductor, Inc. Ethernet
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV15 GL (Quadro2)
.. and then..
[orly@yuna orly]$ /sbin/lspci -n
