[linux-audio-user] Eek nice hefty crash action...

Hello all - sorry for cross post - wasn't sure who might have an idea... see what you think of THIS one. I was working with Ardour beta28, didn't make any system changes or anything, and I have done this with this version of Ardour before (yesterday in fact)... I just exported a region by right clicking and choosing export, and had it write to 44.1 16 bit format (the session is 48k) and it hung. I had to use the reset button to reset. So it reset, I logged in, tried the same thing again. This time Ardour crashed and exited. So I went to start it up again and it flat wouldn't. It didn't do anything. So I said ok I'll reboot again. I did that, and instead of booting, I got this (after a small scroll of stuff I don't recognize): kernel panic fatal exception in interrupt And after a try or two rebooting with acpi turned off in the bios and such, now it stops with this (after similar scroll): unable to handle kernel paging request What the $%#? Everything I've googled so far tells me things about RAM and IRQ and acpi, which gives me a bad feeling that I've got a hardware problem. What does anyone think? The system is gento 2.6.6 kernel...uh...I dunno what else...brain fried... --------------------- Aaron Trumm www.nquit.com -----------------------
