The new 2.6.25.4-10.fc8 kernel update seems to have infected
my fedora 8 boot partition with the same popping noise that
I first noticed after installing fedora 9:

I thought folks had finally figured out how to initialize
sound devices without annoying pops several decades ago :-).

Why the regression?

Anyone else getting popping noises?
