There's no difference if I only use my new SATA II or only the old IDE or both together, especially no swap is needed and when no audio tracks are in use, why will applications crash when I play MIDI events by the master keyboard, while Rosegarden is in circle play mode, not recording, just playing? > Random crashes are in my experience more often > due to flaky hardware (ie hardware that is not broken, but is about to > break).

I didn't compile jack, I only compiled jack_snapshot, simply to compile by make, without any configure or dependency trouble. http://tapas.affenbande.org/wordpress/?page_id=14 I'm using Rosegarden 1.7.1, because 1.7.0 isn't fine.

We, not only I, had troubles with Rosegarden 1.7.0, that's why 1.7.1 is in the backport since yesterday. There are no troubles with dependencies and nothing changed to 1.7.0, problems are the same. > One of the big problems with new Linux users is that they have itchy fingers > - > just because you can upgrade from different repos or compile the latest point > release of something doesn't mean you should. > I'm not really a full noob ;), more a semi-noob, but anyway, 64 Studio is default. > My main machine runs openSUSE, and the JAD distro worked fine on that, JAD comes with enlightenment 17 by default and enlightenment 17 isn't stable.

I don't use Jack transport, so I don't have to compile the stable svn version of Hydrogen, but for some users this should be an argument to compile an application instead of using the default version of 64 Studio. I'll change the RAM, check the soundcard and PSU and look for a new BIOS update. But if there will be such broken hardware, I must have crashes, also when using non-audio applications. It might be interesting if somebody else has an ASUS M2A-VM HDMI, I especially bought the ASUS, because my old mobo is an ASRock, and I won't by an ASRock again. It seems to be, that my hardware isn't broken and I'm using the default install, excepted Rosegarden. I can reinstall the default version 1.7.0. Maybe this will help. Thank you again :). I still frustrated, because I don't think that my hardware is broken and the reinstall to 1.7.0 will be a help, but maybe I'm wrong. I'll search Google for Memchecks. Cheers, Ralf
