I'm running Mandriva 2009, custom RT kernel, not the mandriva RT one.
I'm just doing that because i've just always built with a similar
config. Though i think i should move to mandriva's RT kernel. i
haven't tried it with a non-rt kernel. Lockups are quite rare under
windoze but i don't really run it for long enough to know. I'm just
using it for some gaming. Do you get any oops output? Or just locked
machine and no logging?
