What version of the SB16 do you have? I am guessing that it is one
of the PCI versions. If so, it could be an interrupt sharing
problem. Running "lspci -v" as root should show you the interrupts
(IRQ) being used, and show if the SB16 is sharing one with something
else. If so, you can try putting it in another slot.

I would also look in /var/log/messages for error messages
timestamped just before the system locks up.
