Description of problem: When booting the computer , sometimes the sound works and sometimes not.

Created attachment 263001 [details] system messages file
Reassigned to kernel. Anyway, please consider to report it to ALSA project (www.alsa-project.org), they're authors of ALSA linux sound system.
I forgot initially to tell that sound worked stable under Ubuntu 7.x I made some further investigation using the script: http://bulletproof.servebeer.com/alsa/scripts/alsa-info.sh which lists also the loaded modules. When sound is not working, there are 4 modules not loaded: vfat, fat, usb_storage and usblp
Please attach the contents of /etc/modprobe.conf to this bugzilla.
Booted the computer and I can hear no sound. I went to sound card detection and played the test sound with known result; no sound. The screen shows the following info: Vendor: Intel Corporation Model: 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03) Module: snd-intel8x0 ...

Can you try blacklisting the modem driver? Just add the following line to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist: blacklist snd-intel8x0m
Made this change and booted the laptop 10 times aprox. Sound was always working. Seems to have fixed the problem. Thanks
The modem needs to be loaded after the sound driver for everything to work properly. So if you want to use the modem this should work instead (all on one line in modprobe.conf): install snd-intel8x0m { /sbin/modprobe snd-intel8x0; } ; /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install snd-intel8x0m Closing as not a bug since it's a config issue.

Short intro: I'm a Fedora contributer doing some kernel bug triaging, Chuck I don't think that closing this as not a bug is correct, things do not work out of the box, so atleast it should be reassigned to another Fedora component to get properly fixed there. Also if snd-intel8x0m must always be loaded after snd-intel8x0, then I believe this is best fixed in the kernel, by making snd-intel8x0m depend on a symbol defined in snd-intel8x0, or am I thinking to simple here?
