Kernel panic and sound problem

[Si Jones]

Hi All,

Am getting the following errors in my logs:

Jan 16 14:11:45 apple kernel:     ACPI-1138: *** Error: Method execution

I think it's to do with the onboard sound, as arts in kde seems to be
failing and esd when am in gnome.

I tried using a later kernel but it wont boot as udev dies and the
kernel panics.

anyone any ideas...?
