I've a SB64AWE Pnp also, and this just happens randomly at bootup.
Happened under RedHat 6.0 also. Sometimes it does, and sometimes it
doesn't, and there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. I
don't think it has anything to do with kernel versions.
I do believe it has something to do with loading the module and/or
MIDI soundbank. But I don't know why it does it sometimes and not
others, nor have I ever bothered tracking it down.
