Doug, does that mean it shouldn't be suggested? Perhaps we can start a
thread on what the FAILSAFE kernel option means. My kernel panics (or FAILS)
- wouldn't it be sensible to enable the FAILSAFE option? If it serves no

Sorry, I don't understand this. Did I misquote your message? Or do you mean
to say that the LINT comment ("The main PCI bus device") is a misprint? I'll
remove the snd0 controller and try again.
