[PlanetCCRMA] HDSP again and again

[Aaron Trumm]

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 :)
