I am going to assume here that you have yourself a machine
that is tested under dos for IRQ conflicts.

Hmmmm. sounds like a IRQ or IO conflict to me.
Have you removed the card to see if that is the conflict?
CK> (of course the machine without a soundcard does not print the

Have you tried to recompile your kernel, w/o soundcard support?
then do a make disk and try from there?
goodluck.
