[PlanetCCRMA] HDSP again and again

fernando has suggested turning acpi off in your grub.conf in the past
also just physically moving the card to different slots until it does
something better with the irq
also, one of those messages said there's no multiface connected - is that a
lie? hopefully it is. is the multiface connected?
I would first try turning acpi off (add acpi=off to the boot line in
grub.conf) and reboot and then when that doesn't work (which I have a
feeling it won't), move the card to a different slot, and make sure every
damn thing you can possibly connect is connected and try again...
and then I don't know exactly...we'll see what others say :)
