yep, this doesn't look too good, though its not a complete disaster. please read this: http://linux.oreillynet.com/pub/a/linux/2000/06/29/hdparm.html keep in mind that some distributions (RH included, i think) have fixed this issue somewhat, though they may not have gone far enough for low latency audio. >I don't have the low latency patch. you will probably need it. the standard kernel in RH7 is not up to the task. --p ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: FREE SSL Guide from Thawte are you planning your Web Server Security?
