Hi
While all the excited chat is about the shiny new kernel 2.6.0,
I have a 2.4.x question:
I used 2.4.18 until recently, when I found that a disk I/O scheduling
problem (lack of responsiveness while writing backups to an optical
disk) was solved by upgrading to 2.4.20. Now I find that recording
audio on 2.4.20 is useless, with long droputs in the recorded sound.
I'm sure this is related to the way the system periodically dozes off for
a few seconds (not echoing console input) while it does some
disk intensive work. Rebooting 2.4.18 restored audio sanity, fortunately.
You should upgrade to a newer kernel, as 2.4.20 was known to have some
issues with ext3.
