As it happens, I decided this morning to uninstall the rt kernel (the one that wouldn't load) and installed a different one (2.6.24-23-rt). I copied its grub entry from /boot/grub/menu.lst on the Intrepid partition to /boot/grub/menu.lst on my 64 Studio partition. I rebooted, selected the new kernel from the grub menu, and voila, it loaded. When I installed the new kernel I also searched the repo for everything with 2.6.24-23-rt in its name. I installed some packages I'm sure I did *not* install for the previous (non-loading) kernel. So I have a bootable rt kernel for Ubuntu 8.10. Now I have to find the best settings for Jack, I'm getting too many xruns. Thanks to everyone who responded. The UUID problem was a reminder to me that Linux changes constantly. It gets difficult to keep up sometimes, I appreciate the help here. Best, dp _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
