Is that enough? I think the minimum is "jackd -d alsa -d hw:0" or something like that. Maybe I'm wrong.

But yes, I agree this is bound to be something with the arch target for the binary. The K6 is rare enough that the problem could well have slipped under the radar all this time. I guess, therefore, about all you can do is play with recompiling it from source, for the correct arch. Or file a bug report and hope the package maintainer can help you sort it out. Hrm. This source is pretty messy, with a gob of patches and whanots. I don't see any --with-arch-stuff= target, but I do see it compiles with -O3 In of itself, that's not unusual or particularly worrisome, but some of our Rosegarden users with an obscure version of gcc on some version of SuSE had bizarre problems due to compiler optimizations, and we had them compile with -O0 instead, which took care of it. (That relates to this case because obscure problems as a result of -O3 on certain architectures is not unprecedented, even though I freely admit this is a big reach.) You might give that a quick try and see if it helps. Just apt-get source libjack0.80.0-0 Then edit jack-audio-connection-kit-0.98.1/debian/rules (or 0.80 or whatever yours actually says... I got 0.98.1 from that command, running Sid) and find the bit with -O3 and change it to -O0 then fakeroot debian/rules binary Then try installing and running the resulting packages. If that licks the illegal instruction problem, that will mean something to someone who knows a lot more about compiler internals than I do. It will also certainly mean you have a legitimate bug to file for the package maintainer to contend with. -- Michael McIntyre ---- Silvan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Linux fanatic, and certified Geek; registered Linux user #243621 http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Rue/5407/ http://rosegarden.sourceforge.net/tutorial/
