(For those of you with long memories, I recently reported problems installing FC17/64-bit on this machine with EFI. In the end, I gave up and installed it so that it boots in BIOS mode. I had to reinstall Windows yet again, which sucked, but now I have a machine that dual-boots.)

When I try to do anything at all with the sound card (such as running jackd and connecting Hydrogen to it), I get "IRQ 18 resetting" messages in /var/log/messages, accompanied by massive xruns.

Could you copy the exact error messages and anything else you see around 
them? What is it being shared with? ("grep 18 /proc/interrupts" to find 
out).

Sorry you are having problems...

I need that driver since it seems to be the only way to get the fan to stop in 2D mode.  If there is a way to run the realtime kernel in this configuration, I'd be very interested!
