Otherwise it is stable:
1:12am up 2 days, 13:04, 3 users, load average: 0.26, 0.54, 0.44
After attempting to play several sound files, here's /proc/interrupts:
CPU0
0: 21971309 XT PIC timer
1: 84831 XT PIC keyboard
2: 0 XT PIC cascade
3: 774796 XT PIC serial
5: 56 XT PIC soundblaster
13: 0 XT PIC fpu
14: 1408793 XT PIC ide0
15: 3889944 XT PIC ide1
NMI: 0
Clearly the sound interrupts are too low, and in /var/log/dmesg
(truncated) we have:
Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error?
Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error?
Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error?

Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error?
Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error?
I know for certain that IRQ 5 (as well as the DMA channels) are free (it
works in 2.0.33/NT 4.0sp3).
I am beginning to wonder if this is somehow related - if I don't do a
hard reboot when trying to reboot, the kernel locks after here:

Interestingly enough, the next couple of lines on a successful boot are:

Let me know if you guys want any more info (P5/150 w/72 MB RAM, S3

Worst of all, I can't hear the sound in my video of Win98 crashing for
good 'ol Bill.
Let's bring on the sound guru's....
thanks in advance,
