Doesn't happen all the time everywhere, more like when trying out
new drivers and stuff. I've alsa had this happen the first time I
upgraded a win2k DC to win2k3. The DC in question was the backup DC
I think. Dunno why this at all happened. Could have been left-overs
from the old domain, or possibly some eide-controller driver or
something. Anyway, after the reboot it hasn't happened again.
