Ah, thanks. That shows "nforce AC'97 sound controller" or so using a
driver intel-8x0m. Onboard video and LAN work fine, but not sound. I
suppose if I want to stop it freezing I've to go to Nvidia and look for a
sound driver.

mostly in the alsa directory. I think I would need to stop modprobe from
detecting the soundcard. That's not much different from disabling the
soundcard, see next.

no sndconfig or snd-config, but snd mentioned in rc.sysinit and alsa in
the stop and reboot scripts (that's where the "saving mixer settings" is
coming from). I didn't really want to comment out stuff in the rc files,
so I have switched off onboard sound in the BIOS. Freezing has stopped.

Seems so, it stops after "starting anacron OK" (when switching to runlevel
3). Don't know what next option is, but i have given up on that, see
above.
Thanks for the hints, anyway!
