I don't know where the sound is exactly located, I compiled and installed esd so gaim would have sound, and poof its there on bootup now. I posted that this happens, in prior threads, its not new, its never really sounded that bad to me, but the other day I tried to boot while plugged in and it will make horrible sounds, like its half initialized or something.

I also have crashed a few times, but everytime its related to metalayer-crawl

Run

/etc/init.d/metalayer-crawler0 stop

I then added "exit 0" on the second line, you could also just remove

/etc/rc2.d/S99metalayer-crawler0

rm /etc/rc2.d/S99metalayer-crawler0

That fixed my crashing problem, it will consume 100% of CPU and chew through memory like mad.


I also think that the occaisonal fsck done from flash is necessary, especially after a few crashes.
