I have never heard of alsa being able to break your system that
hard. What did you update? Both alsa-lib and alsa-driver-(kmdl)?

What graphics card do you have? Is the kernel otherwise tainted?

Do you have a second host to log onto the one with the lasa before the
system hangs? If so can you check that it really hangs, or perhaps
only the screen freezes?
