Hi Loki,
I'm running exactly that kernel in 64-bit mode:
mark@email-addr-hidden ~ $ uname -a
Linux lightning 2.6.15-rt2 #2 PREEMPT Thu Jan 5 16:13:25 PST 2006
x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
mark@email-addr-hidden ~ $
It works OK for me. I'm xrun free at 64/2 on my HDSP 9652 for anywhere
from 2 - 6 hours and then I'll get a flurry of xruns. I see pretty
much the same problems in Aqualung, which doesn't generally mind the
xruns, or Ardour which will usually shut down when they happen. Folks
here have blamed my complicated setup which uses the Gentoo chroot'ed
32-bit environment for web browsing and 32-bit multimedia only, but
I've run the same tests with all of that turned off and still see that
problem.
I see no issues like you are describing with CPU usage, but I'm using
an NForce4 chipset with an ATI PCI Express video card. Possibly it's
an ATI chipset issue.
I could send you a copy of my config file offline.
Cheers,
Mark
