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?

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.
