I got caught up in a libstdc++6 (TLS) bug, which forced me into upgrading my kernel to 2.6. When doing this, I spent a little more time looking at the source trees going into my kernel and modules. It is entirely possible that the version of ALSA (or Nvidia) that was effectively being used by my kernel was quite old. But, since going over to the 2.6 tree (2.6.16-9), the version of ALSA is now bound into the kernel source, and I've been keeping the nvidia module up to date as well. I can't say I've installed a kernel and modules based on 2.6.16-9 yet, but they are compiled and waiting to be installed. I believe-6 is what is installed.
All that notwithstanding, the gstreamer engine in amarok only appears to be marginally more stable than what I was running under 2.4.27. Something like half a day between crashes. Gord -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
