I couldn't quite believe gmixer had much to do with crashing my
system, & it didn't. By looking through dmesg, finding "Please enable
the IOMMU option in BIOS setup," & googling that, a fix turned up.

I have no option of changing the IOMMU settings in my BIOS, but
without going over my head, this setting has to do with AGP video
cards, while I'm using my motherboard's integreted video chipset:

GIGABYTE GA-MA78G-DS3H (onboard AMD 780G chipset with Integrated ATI
Radeon HD3200 graphics)

& this caused things to go wrong. For anyone else snagged by a similar
issue, the workaround I found goes so:

As root, add

iommu=noaperture

to the end of the kernel bootline of each kernel you plan to use,
found in the file

/boot/grub/menu.lst

Save changes & reboot.

Probably a new thread would be a better place for this info,  but it's
OT, & well, it's here instead...
