[PlanetCCRMA] RT Kernel Crash

[Donald Steven]

Thanks Tracey.  I've now had the crash with the stock Fedora kernel, so 
it's clearly not a ccrma-rt issue.  I suspect a daemon and will continue 
to work it.  It's definitely a fedora issue, as there are no problems 
with centos, opensuse, etc.

I had to run the machine with the driver because it was an "sli" card and the nouveau and nv driver would not work with it.  I finally went and replaced it with a newer, but less power hungry :) nvidia card that works with the nouveau driver.

I eventually found the problem after turning off all of the daemons I could, and testing, and turning stuff back on until I found that the "cpuspeed" service cannot be used on this machine.  In my case I think it may be because I'm using an early dual core amd64.
