Yet 2.0 has absolutely no problems with the same hardware, it's rock-solid.
Whether it's a (lucky) work-around in 2.0 or a bug in 2.1 I don't really
know..

For the record, 2.1.120 locks up _hard_ (with interrupts disabled) when I
try to use the digital channel on either the sb or the cs4236. The chipset
is VIA VP3 (rev 1). Whatever it is, it's not driver-specific code.
