For what reason do you wish to use Squeeze? I know that Hardy and Karmic are a little bit outdated. You should build your own kernel-rt for Squeeze if the alpha 3.3 should cause issues. For Hardy it was possible to build a kernel-rt the following way, but at least for Lucid make-kpkg isn't supported anymore, but perhaps it's still ok for Debian. wget ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.33.7.tar.bz2 http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/patch-2.6.33.7-rt29.bz2 tar xvjf linux-2.6.33.7.tar.bz2 mv linux-2.6.33.7 linux-2.6.33.7-rt29 ln -s linux-2.6.33.7-rt29 linux cd linux mv ../patch-2.6.33.7-rt29.bz2 ../linux bunzip2 patch-2.6.33.7-rt29.bz2 patch -p1 < patch-2.6.33.7-rt29 Instead of 'uname -r' you could test if the config from the 3.3 alpha's kernel does work. cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) .config make oldconfig Disable staging might be needed. gedit .config Editing CONFIG_STAGING=y to # CONFIG_STAGING is not set ... and then make oldconfig There should be nothing to do when running make oldconfig now. make-kpkg clean make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot --initrd kernel-image kernel-headers kernel-source OT: For semi-professional usage you also could use a full-professional [1] solution ;) such as 64 Studio 3.0 beta = Ubuntu Hardy http://download.linuxaudio.org/64studio/ 64 Studio 3.3 alpha = Ubuntu Karmic http://pdk.64studio.com/projects/64studio/karmic/images/ They might not support latest version of Tux Racer, but AFAIK this are one of the best audio Linux [2]. Cheers! Ralf [1] IMO no Apple, Linux and Windows computer is 'professional'. For a 'professional' studio I do prefer stand alone equipment and oldish computers. Anyway, we might have different semantics for the word 'professional'. [2] I experienced that they are working OOTB for my non-professional music room. _______________________________________________ 64studio-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-users
