[PlanetCCRMA] alsa for older Planet kernels

[Nathaniel Virgo]

Hi,

I want to go back to using the old Planet kernel
2.6.12-0.21.rdt.rhfc4.ccrmabecause for some reason{*} my desktop tends
to be really sluggish on newer
ones (Planet or otherwise) (and I'm sure I had better performance from Jack
apps in the old days as well).  The problem is I can't get audio to work at
all on that kernel.  When trying to start alsa at boot time it claims that
alsa is already running, and programs are not able to open the sound
devices.  I'm guessing this is because the latest and greatest ALSA versions
are not compatible with the old kernel, so could someone reccommend a
version to try that does work?

{*} Newer kernels say "PCI: Failed to allocate mem resource #6:
20000 at f0000000 for 0000:01:00.0" right at the beginning of the boot
process.  Could this have anything to do with it?  It's pretty meaningless
to me but I'm guessing it means they don't agree with my hardware very well.

thanks in advance for any help

Nathaniel
