Something related to 6.6 changes seems to be in play as I have similar
problems with sound, how X starts and automount of USB vfat drives, all
of which hve been working rock-solid since ... 4.x?
Mu difference from you, possibily, is my problems began with the update
from CR repository just before the 6.6 point release. My system became
unstable too, locking up (but I suspect heat - I had clened for a long
time and it's in a dirty room) , putting junk files in the root console,
changing the character output on tty1 to unreadbale (white boxes mostly)
when I telinit 3.
Anyway, those are for another thread.

This may be relevant. I can't get sound detected when I use the normal X
stuff under Gnome after I havev all three X sessions running, and no
sound ... almost.
I normally have three logins going and the sound from youtube,
notification sounds and such work fine on the first X session started
prior to the 6.6 CR update.
With the CR update, that stopped, along with no hardware detected in the
first X session.
I was patient and hoped the final updates to bring me to the full 6.6
might fix things.
Anyway, by accident I discovered that youtube and other such sound play
through the third (that is, last) X session started. Further, that
session can detect hardware when I right-click the speaker on my taks
bar and select preferences.
How this might relate to your issues I'm not knowledgeable enough to
say.
