I recompiled my 2.6.3 kernel without any ACPI support but with APM support (as a module) to see if, as Jaroslav suggested, the semaphore errors I get are due to ACPI. I'm afraid they aren't. After some hours of the laptop being on, but the soundcard unused, I tried to play a sound. Nothing came out. The usual semaphore errors were in the syslog.
Please help. I'm at wit's end with this bug, which has been with me since November.
I have appended part of my previous post for diagnosis.
