here we go...

00:0b.0 Multimedia audio controller: Fortemedia, Inc Xwave QS3000A

the first entry seems to be the audio functionality, the second one must
be the game port.
IRQ 10 is shared with USB controller, IRQ 11 is shared with VGA controller.

pnp was set to 'yes' in bios. I set it to 'no', but the system still
locks after loading alsa driver. To be more precisely: I did modprobe
snd-fm801, started aplay, stopped aplay, started arecord and after some
seconds the system hang. But the system hang just some seconds after
modprobing without using the audio device in a try before.
Here's the /var/log/messages output before(after) the system hangs:
Dec 12 19:13:27 localhost kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 10 for device 00:0b.0
Dec 12 19:13:27 localhost kernel: PCI: Sharing IRQ 10 with 00:07.2
Dec 12 19:13:27 localhost kernel: PCI: Sharing IRQ 10 with 00:07.3
Dec 12 19:13:27 localhost kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 00:0b.1
Dec 12 19:13:27 localhost kernel: ALSA ../alsa-kernel/pci/fm801.c:922:
unable to grab region 0x0-0x7f
Dec 12 19:14:56 localhost syslogd 1.4.1: restart.

ACPI is not enabled in kernel (but APM is, which should not be a
problem, I think).
Any further hints? I just don't want to crash my filesystems too often.
Hopefully, ext3 does its job.
Ahh! Perhaps I should remount read-only next time :-)
