I'll give it another shot then, disabling the kudzu-probing (using an Emagic 2|6 USB audio interface on the audio box, so no fancy probing necessary)...
Has anyone successfully compiled a recent 2.5 kernel using gcc 3.2-7 (Redhat 8)? I read some warnings about broken kernel optimizations with gcc 3.x - but that might have been resolved long time ago? I will start digging into this and see what works, audiowise. /Werner ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joern Nettingsmeier" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2003 9:48 AM Subject: Re: [linux-audio-dev] some interesting docs for 2.6 testers... > Werner Johansson wrote: > > Hi! > > > > I've been doing some early 2.5 tests, but as I'm running RH8 with the Planet > > on top of it there seem to be some problems actually building a 2.5 kernel > > (the linked texts here mention optimization problems with the default > > RH-shipped gcc as one).
