Dear John,

On my machine i had a similar problem with rt. After more than 1,5 year of
searching, trying out and lots of help with explanation on the ubuntuforums
i discovered that it was this BIOS setting that must be turned off: IOAPIC
It seems that ubuntu can manage  this by itself(if i understood correctly) I
bet this solves your problem too!

 Hi Fernando I've got an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4000+ processor too and had
 problems with the RT kernel since I first installed 8.04 onwards. I tried
 pretty much everything until a few days ago, when I simply loaded optimized
 settings on my BIOS and believe it or not, no mouse delay and no hanging at
 all. My hammerfall soundcard's delay 10ms recording 16channels. I honestly
 don't know what setting in the BIOS messed it up since optimized settings
 or default settings options don't specify much and I've tweaked the thing
 so many times I lost track of what the original setting was! Maybe give that
 a try?
 Good luck!

I remember several years ago there were some problems with peoples systems
acting sluggish or freezing with the -rt kernel during Hardy.  If I remember
correctly it had to do with acpi, although I cannot find any of those emails
on the mailing list.

However, I did find a Ubuntu Studio review by Dave Phillips that also
mentions the acpi situation:
http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/judgement-day-studio-dave-tests-ubuntu-studio-904

Also, this 64Studio forum posts discusses it a little more:
http://www.64studio.com/node/

Hope this helps.

Hi Kenneth

I don't know about the Pannel icons, but if your desktop icons and windows
dissapear, you can reload nautilus by typing alt+f2 and then nautilus
without the commas. Think your problem is GNOME related though.
Did you try logging off and back on without restarting? and what happens if
you do restart?

About the AMD's freezing, thanks, if I ever have the problem again, thast
the first thing I'll check!

 Fermando, Scot  John/Anyone:

 My Acer Laptop lost its panel applications; places; System; Shut
 Down panel drop down. Nothing remains to restore. Right clicking does not
 pop up a shut down either; but right clicking does come up with options:
 Create Folder, Create Folder, Create Document, Clean up Name,  Change
 Desktop Background. Can you mention  a command that I may write into
 terminal which I can open from the desktop? What terminal fix will
 reconstitute or
 reconfigure the panel with the icon repopulated?

 I'd sure appreciate your guidance. [perhaps this resulted from a
 hyperactive
 keyboard, which I guess has something to do with a motherboard issue.]

Hello Fernando, Scot  John: kindly ignore my earlier request. I learned
it's feasible to do a gconftool correction in terminal:
rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel

Finally,reload panel:

  pkill gnome-panel
it worked and I'm using my laptop again. Thanks again.

John, powering off and on would not work. I did not know about nautilus.. I
used a terminal routine which solved my panel repopulation question. Yes, it
was gnome related. Many, many thanks! Ken
