If a gx150 is installed as an 8.4 machine (which all of the ones we have
now, were), kudzu will make a note of the hardware but not know what to
do with it. The 9.0 version of kudzu knows what to do with it, but since
it's already noted in the hardware inventory assumes that it's already
been dealt with.
There's a hack that will be in the next release to add appropriate lines
to modules.conf such that audio will work. For immediate use, add this
to /etc/modules.conf:
alias sound-slot-0 i810_audio
options i810_audio ftsodell=1

As far as I know we're getting machines without the PCI sound card.
(Although the test machine has one.) Has the order for the cluster
machines gone in, and if so, for what?
