The detection routines are IN the kernel. Unless you define the kernel to
be a subset of the bzImage file you get when compiling a kernel.
The detection routines obviously mangle the sound system.
Why a 2.6 kernel crashes on two different TP600s I wouldn't know.

Here you say managed to run 2.6 on yours.
Might it be that there are other kind of TP600s around, with different
hardware?
I don't have the precise type indicator at hand here.
I have a small screen version with 64MB and a version with a larger
screen with only 32MB. Both will crash.
