Installing OSS freezes system

I just picked up a new HP Pavilion DV6 and one of the first things was install Arch.  Obviously, the first thing was install ALSA but I found that no microphone works.  I had the same problem with my other HP Pavilion DV1000, and fixed that by installing OSS.

I installed OSS last night following the steps in the [wiki]Open_Sound_System[/wiki] wiki, but when I went to start it up, my system freezes.  Checking the logs, and running some debugging checks, I got as far as identifying whenever the soundon script identifies the modules to load

$ cat $OSSLIBDIR/etc/installed_drivers | sed 's/#.*//'
oss-hdaudio
oss-usb

So I run 'modprobe oss-hdaudio' and my system freezes.

Can anyone give me a heads up on what I should do?  If you need any more info, please let me know.
Thanks

My system config:
