From my personal opinion:
#1 don't use redhat - it's given me nothing but trouble, yet the debian machine works great. #2 don't install from RPN, compile from source instead. (don't try this if you insist on using redhat)

I've been using PD under windoze but have just successfully configured my laptop to dual boot XP and RH7.2 Linux. I'm eager to get PD running under Linux. I'm a total Linux newbie so I may be doing something stupid. I'd appreciate any help you can provide. RH7.2 is using the 2.4.7-10 kernel. I downloaded PD (.34 ) as an rpm and rpm'd it with the -i option. When I type pd my machine freezes. I know it is starting because it is telling me I have no midi in or out. I can't even escape with ctrl alt del . The message I get is: Oops :0000 EIP: 0010: [<c98ffcca>] EFLAGS: 00010246 etc etc.
At the end of the message: <0> kernel panic:Aiee,killing interrupt handler! In interrupt handler-not syncing
Then nothing happens. I have to push the power switch to reboot. Do I have to upgrade my kernel? Any suggestions? Thanks! Jim
