I'm running Mandrake 9.1 and Thac's multimedia-kernel and haven't needed to recompile the kernel, just installed the rpm and everything has been working since. Are you sure you are actually using the correct kernel? You should get a few other boot-entrys in lilo to choose between when booting. To boot with the multimedia-kernel I choose an entry called 2421-016mm in my setup, (I'm not sure whether Thac has put up a new kernel since I threw in mine, so it might be something different, but should probably be similar). Oh, btw, I need to run jack as root. But that's with realtime-capabilities. The line you're starting jack with works fine on my system, so I should start to make sure I was running the correct kernel. Hope anything of this might be of help. /Mathias > Another thing: I have the staudio dsp24 cport soundcard which was > recognised and everything, but if anyone has a link or some tips on how to > use this in the most effective way under linux I'd be very happy!
