Maybe you need to > recompile ALSA binaries or something like that :??? I think i know the cause of the problem, i'll test it later. You had to be careful with 'install' directives in modprobe.conf to not cause circular dependencies, and i think maybe this is the problem. But this shouldn't trash the kernel with a lot of processes in D state that cannot be killed... > > 85 tty3 S 0:00 into > > What the hell is that crap?

I was wrong, xine and aMule had nothing to do with the problem. Just a 'modprobe snd' triggers the problem. bye -- David Gómez "The question of whether computers can think is just like the question of whether submarines can swim." -- Edsger W.
