</div>This is the important question.<br></blockquote><div><br>It is reported that my soundcard (Native Instruments Audio 4 DJ) works best with 2.6.32 and that kernel 2.6.30 is required as minimum. The card uses the snd-usb-caiaq module and 2.6.32 is higly recommended because of Git commits <a href="http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=a9b487f" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">a9b487f</a>, <a href="http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=ac9dd9d" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">ac9dd9d</a>. I don't understand these in detail so I don't know how they would affect performance.<br>

</div>You should NOT do this on Ubuntu Studio (or any Ubuntu) unless you want<br>
to fix real borkage. Try upgrading to the latest Ubuntu Studio, it may<br>
have 2.6.31 at least (not sure on whether they have 2.6.32, maybe in the<br>
latest alpha?).</blockquote><div><br>I installed a 2.6.31 kernel via apt-get on my 64studio machine but booting the kernel doesn't work ("this kernel requires the following features not present on your cpu: pae"). If anybody can help with this - thanks a lot!<br>

A bit of an explanation, in Ubuntu (like most distros) the kernel<br>
version and various packages in the system are closely tied together,<br>
such that a jump from 2.6.28 to 2.6.32 is likely to result in quite a<br>
few problems.</blockquote><div><br><br>I understood that now, though I hope I will not have to wait for the next release to get my card to work... <br><br>Thanks again,<br>Martin<br></div><br></div><br>
