[ltp] Mandrake 9.1 redhat-sndconfig bug

[David ..]

I had somewhat the same problem, someone on the list mentioned that i should 
turn off in the bios QuickBoot or something in those lines. once I did that 
my Mandrake 9.1 had full sound, ya it sounds odd that the fix is to turn off 
Quickboot. Don't ask me why that happens.
