This has nothing to do with the routing issue, but is a bigger problem by itself :( The VIA chipset is buggy, and your Soundblaster Live! increases the likelyhood of triggering that bug. This is a rather well documented problem, read an english article about it on http://www.au-ja.de/review-kt133a-1-en.html and a german article on the discussion of this on the lkml on http://www.au-ja.de/review-kt133a-linux.html (if you don't read German this is not a problem, as all links found there refer to english pages). You seem to have bad luck, as the 686a should not be a buggy as the 686b. Bottom line: Try to get a BIOS upgrade and hope that VIA will opensource and contribute their Windows patch to linux...
