No. Box (an emachines m6805) seems otherwise reliable (uptime in multiples of days) I think that's just a warning message saying that it will log machine check events, not an actual machine check... I will attempt a build from the clean 2.6.12 sources later on... but I wanted to ask if I was maybe missing something in the usb-audio init or in /etc/hotplug that would be notifying the kernel of what exactly was plugged in - I don't know anything about the usb hotplug system.... > > Lee > > > > > > -- Mike Taht PostCards From the Bleeding Edge http://the-edge.blogspot.com
