Ok, last night, i was waiting for the rc4 to download
and so decided to try again to patch and compile a kernel using 2.6.16
and ingos patch.
Left it going overnight, and this morning i have my own working
realtime preemptible kernel!

It installs, boots and works (nearly) fine.


But...

It still hard locks when i try and connect my midi port to anything
with qjackctl.
(and also wont let me log in, goes straight back to gdm, but i can
live with that)

So back to the original problem.

I am unsure what to try next.

Maybe, as i have two soundcards. one builtin and the cmedia one, and
they each hav a gameport/midi connection on them, maybe they are
providing conflicting irqs or something?

As i said i am unsure and a little out of my depth.
