Check the LKML archives. Never mind, Alan is probably right. If disabling PCIRetry does not work you can also try Option "NoAccel" (not a viable way to run, just to confirm the problem). WRT singing capacitors, it does seem to be an increasing problem: http://news.com.com/PCs+plagued+by+bad +capacitors/2100-1041_3-5942647.html?tag=nefd.lede The difference is that singing capacitors will cause noise in the audio, while PCI stalls of the type Alan described will cause dropouts/stuttering.
