Ah, are two of the four ethx interfaces really the firewire port? I wondered what they were. Do you use the pro-audio overlay? I was, with rt-sources 2.6.16-29rt I think, and had very regular lockups, just starting rosegarden for instance, and zynaddsubfx falling over after playing a few notes. I had some teething troubles but other than hydrogen crashing once, 64-studio has been rock solid and the performance has been excellent, although I have to admit I haven't tried running it with an smp linux image yet. I will be doing that this weekend and hope to give it a good thrashing. -- Michael Pacey
