Additional info:
The power situation in our area is quite alright.  The machine always has a
backup.  Moreover the machine has 2GB ram, it was a clean install of Fedora 9.

Over past day there as a kernel update.  following is the output of my uname -a

Linux homebaner.net 2.6.25.4-30.fc9.i686 #1 SMP Wed May 21 18:12:35 EDT 2008
i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Moreover i made a few observations since the kernel upgrade.
1. The propensity of crashing goes up if i have a music player running (xmms,
amarom or rhythmbox).
2. If i have mpd/mpc running it seems to work alright.
3. I still get message that sound modules could not be found, but i can listen
to the music alright. 

I believe this also had something to do with soundcard

Comment 2 Sameet 2008-06-11 02:59:59 UTC

Hi all,
I am sorry for reporting this bug.  It turned out after a long investigation
that the problem was with my cabinet.  There was some type of 'leakage', with
some pin touching the cabinet, also the cabinet was of old style where many
componenets were cramped.  The problem has now been solved.
