The last time I tried recompiling a SuSE kernel I trashed the > whole system... i'm not an expert, but since you've had no answers so far, let me tell you that i haven't switched to 2.6 yet, i'm still using 2.4.26 with three patches: low-latency patch, preemptive patch and capabilities patch, and i have a fairly good performance. every time i install a new kernel i have to google for them patches, i never remember where they are... perhaps suse or some third party provides pre-patched kernels for audio, i wouldn't know. installing your own kernel shouldn't break your system, i think. i used suse for about two years, but that was a long time ago... or so it seems to me now. that was suse 6.something, way back in 1999-2000. never had any trouble using my own kernel compiled from the sources from kernel.org. never used anything other than that, in fact. things might be worse now, distributions are "easier" now, and that usually comes at a cost. good luck, lj --
