I reported this problem my self a while ago. This is purely a hardware
issue and affects not only linux, but also win98, nt, and win2k. What I
found is that when the machine freezes with the lovely tone from the
speakers, i can ping the machine and it will come back to life. You can
enable the memory hole (15-16mb) in the bios if you use windows (can't
do that in linux unless you only want to use 15megs :) )... Otherwise
you need a different sound card.
