I have verified the issue in v2.6.25-rc6 and I'm about 99% certain that the issue is not present in v2.6.25-rc5-300-gb663c6f. I've been running this kernel for 3 days now with no problems. It's a bit worrying to me that it's more frequent in builds between rc6 and rc7 than vanilla rc6. Newer builds than rc7 not tested. I've not noticed stuttering audio, but at one time I saw stuttering video in a way I don't normally see. May be incidence. Maybe relevant config: # CONFIG_CGROUPS is not set CONFIG_GROUP_SCHED=y CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED=y # CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED is not set # CONFIG_CGROUP_SCHED is not set [1]: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/3/29/96 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
