uups, now that I come to think of it, I could imagine a couple of nasty
remarks :) (like: Are you sure your dog is on the debian hcl?)

It hangs completly. No numlock, no CTRL-ALT-DEL, just the power switch.

Either my laptop is terribly wrong, or debian. Following your tip, I
deselected esound common. Now the computer hangs at "Setting up cxref" (at
least without that terrible beeping...).

Any more ideas? Otherwise I'm afraid I'll give up :-(.
