[PROBLEM] : ATI IXP - Unknown symbol -> no sound

[neologix@xxxxxxx]

Hello.

short:
[2.6.18] ATI IXP - Unknown symbol -> no sound

longer:
I have an ATI IXP sound card, and since kernel 2.6.17, sometimes I have no sound
when I boot.
Alsa just doesn't work.
The relevant log part are given below
What is weird is that the modules are loaded, and that it doesn't happen
everytime.
I have a P4 with hyperthreading enabled (I don't know if it plays a part).
The thing is that before 2.6.17, I never had problems

If you need any information or anything, feel free to ask.
