That's what I'm expecting. But then again, the noise occurs when the Sound
Blaster module is being loaded, long after the awe module itself was loaded
(when it prints that PnP/PCI info stuff about the card).

I do want to finally stop turning off the machine but 1) I'm still worried my
box is not as secure as I would like it to be (I have a cablemodem so it's
always hooked up to the net) 2) I don't really run any services that would
warrant 24h uptime; and 3) my wife won't let me :)
