Thanks. Yes, I've run ck-sources a few times in the past but not had
good luck with it. I'm also suspicious that the problem I'm currectly
seeing with the gentoo-sources AMD64 kernel is likely to not be solved
by this. It seems right now that a simple emerge sync is causing xruns
on this system implying to me some underlying problem with either hard
drive activity or networking. since the hard drive is SATA and the
networking option in the kernel marks the NIC driver as 'Reverse
engineered - experimental' I'm not confident of fixing this problem in
the immediate short term anyway.

My thoughts right now:

1) kernel.org + rt patches
2) ck-sources
3) gentoo-sources-amd64 + rt patches not cleanly applied

   I may also investigate a different NIC. I have a email friend that
runs a studio in Sydney. I helped him move from FC2 to Gentoo. We had
xruns using some of the NIC stuff for his motherboard. When we found
that was the problem he never had another problem.

   Thanks for your ideas.

cheers,
Mark
