Fresh install of Ubuntu 8.10 x64 on my HP DV9574ea laptop this afternoon - initially shutdown/rebooted fine until updates and non-free driver (nvidia) were installed. Laptop has an Intel 82801H HD audio controller (but it's really a Realtek HD audio controller, AFAIK).

Tested adding "ifconfig eth0 down" and "ifconfig wlan0 down" to /etc/init.d/alsa-utils - problem goes away.

Problem does NOT present on my x64 desktop system, which uses a Creative Audigy 2 ZS card. Both systems are using the same nvidia proprietary driver for graphics and have the same installation environment in terms of kernel, patches and updates.
