However, as a side note, it only seems to work if the sound code is compiled into the kernel. The same code in a module does not work and still causes the sound hang. As I recall, the way the emergency buffer was allocated was critical to it functioning properly. I usually compile in the sound driver so it's not a big deal for me but it might be for other folks. On another note, I've noticed that if I reboot my machine using shutdown -r the machine will reboot to a gray screen and then just hang there. It won't boot into MacOS. I've noticed that on 68k Macs, it is important to map the ROMs back into memory before rebooting or the machine just hangs around forever. Is it possible that we're not remapping stuff back to its usual place before rebooting on OldWorld machines? This has been a persistant problem for a long time on 2.4.
