IDE, SCSI, or both?

Thanks for the tip.

FWIW, I built 2.6.33.2-rt13 by tweaking the current 
Debian/experimental build system.  So far it's been working 
fine for me on two different Ubuntu-based, 32-bit, x86 
systems.

Things I've noticed:

   * The fan seems to run less often (good, it was
     running too often before).

   * 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' doesn't show the actual current
     clock speed without loading in some other modules.

I haven't put it through its paces on RT audio, yet.
