I permit myself to reply, since i was CCed.

I have this kind of error at the beginning. It was quite strange, but
caused by IRQ problems: 
* eth0, cdrom (ide1 or something like that), audio controler, usb on the
  same IRQ
* from time to time i get very strange behavior:
** lost CDROM
** cannot move mouse
** strange latency on the network (ping to google go from 65ms to 500ms)
* when i :
** use USB
** use audio

In fact, that was a hidden IRQ conflict... I solve it by upgrading BIOS.

Kind regards
Sylvain Le Gall

ps: maybe it has nothing to do with your problem, if so please forgive
me for the noise
