To diagnose the issue, we would need to see the exact error message.  
Meanwhile, you could try checking whether the limits you've put in  
limits.conf are actually in effect.

In a (bash) shell, running:
  ulimit -l     will tell you how much memory you can lock
  ulimit -r     will tell you at what realtime priority you can run software

On a system like a netbook, you can also try 'jackd --no-mlock' or  
'jackd --unlock'. Unlock will make jack not lock some parts of the  
memory (gui toolkits etc.), no-mlock just skips memlock totally.
