Itis working *pretty* well although I am having a few concerns. About twice a day I get a little rash of xruns and sometimes the machine gets hung at power down removing Alsa. None the less it's the only thing that works even this well with my AMD64 SATA stuff so I'm happy. Ingo just released rt2. Here's paths to the stuff you need to build it: http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.13.tar.bz2 http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/testing/patch-2.6.14-rc3.bz2 http://redhat.com/~mingo/realtime-preempt/patch-2.6.14-rc3-rt2 Note that you patch 2.6.13, not 2.6.13.2 to get here. Note also that this is NOT a stable kernel. There may be issues. People mention LOTS of weird little issues on the kernel mailing list. HTH, Mark
