[linux-audio-user] FC5 + X86_64 + RT16 = no boot

> So has anyone got anywhere/had issues with FC5/gcc 4.1/x86_64/RT?

nope, but ive never gotten the RT series to work without either freezing/instant-rebooting right after grub passes off execution to the kernel, or a kernel panic on some ACPI or similar issue during bootup, or a random unprovoked hard freeze within about 5 to 15 minutse after booting up. this is on several different machines, a Sempron64, a Turion64, and an Athlon64, on VIA, MSI, and Shuttle platforms. somehow Mark Knecht i think has claimed stable operation on this architecture, so maybe you want to ask him his magical combination of hardware / compiler / kernel / patch.

probably nothing. if youve found a version that works, by all means, use it!

shouldnt be a problem. youre much more likely to run into issues when removing a version of GCC or Glibc and not properly updating the .la files  and the like..
