Just a thought, but did you get the following 2 packages, the low latency kernel ones. apt-get update apt-get install planetccrma-core apt-get install planetccrma-core-edge The first one comes with extra packages. "rtirq" "rtload" (for realtime), and a couple of Alsa packages IIRC. These are for the single processor setup, add "-smp" without the quotes to both packages if you are using a dual processor.
