cough, cough, it turns out that there was (is?) something wrong
or different with the sound system. The oops occured in the sbintr
function. (in sb-common.c)

I rebuilt my kernel, only now I compiled the sound support as
a module. The new kernel loaded, but sound.o Oopsed when I
insmod loaded it. In sbintr again.

I loaded up DOS and tested my sound blaster 16. Apparently
it forgot about its midi port address.... I reset it to 330h and
now things are fine again. Something did change between 2.0.0 and
2.0.1 however, since 2.0.0 still loaded.
