Bug#286291: kernel: Legacy SB broken in 2.6.8, works in 2.6.7

[Adam Majer <adamm@galacticasoftware.com>]

Package: kernel
Severity: normal

legacy SB (ISA) does not work under the new kernel. It works perfectly 
under 2.6.7. Right after execution of a command like "cat /dev/dsp > /tmp/a",
the system stops responsing. SysRq works though. There is no segfaults.
I could connect remotely to the system (eg. ssh), but sshd did not respond.
That is, the connection is ESTABLISHED, but ssh does not respond.

SB related parts in dmesg are:
  io=0x220, irq=7, dma=1, dma16=-1
  SB 4.11 detected OK
  sb init done

If you need any extra information, plase let me know.
