I've got an ASUS P4P800SE mobo with a 3.0GHz Prescott P4. It runs
great under RedHat 9 using the 2.4.26-1.ll.rh90.ccrma from Planet
CCRMA. Unfortunately, there are issues with it under FC2, which
keep the machine from even booting using the FC2 boot disks. It took
me a while to dig into the RH archives to find the alternate boot
disk. No biggie for me, Fernando says FC2 is still too bleeding edge
for production use. (Remember folks, when something's called bleeding
edge, it's usually your blood that ends up on the blade!)
I tried the Planet CCRMA 2.4.26-smp kernel with the hyperthreading
turned on in my BIOS, but was getting too many xruns when I ran Ardour,
so I went back to the single processor kernel and all's well.
