You are free to use whatever kernel you think is best for you. But that make it obviously more difficult for us to be able to help if something goes wrong. Reading this: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Benutzer/BigMc/Tascam_US-144 you have two options: 1. you apply the patch yourself on the kernel sources (assuming you know how to do that and know how to compile your own kernel the Debian/Ubuntu way). 2. you just get the already patched kernel and install it in your Puredyne full install. http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.33.3-lucid/ or http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.34-rc3-karmic/ I suggest the second option, get one of the .deb that matches you architecture and then manually install it with dpkg --install blabla.deb Good Luck! a. PS: This hardware support is very recent and next to the kernel it seems you need to do extra things, read carefully all the doc, this night not be very trivial. --- [email protected] http://identi.ca/group/puredyne irc://irc.goto10.org/puredyne
