I've also noticed this, especially with the older CD-ROMs. They all work after install though. > Are you sure you want 9.1? > I've upgraded, and it's noticeably slower than 9.0 was. 9.0 doesn't support the Intel motherboard chipset on this board properly - I get a PCI conflict message on boot and all hdparm options are set to the slowest. Have you checked your hdparm settings? I'd also like to try the 9.1 multimedia kernel. In any case, I'll probably have to upgrade alsa, because for some reason they have stuck with an rc version.
