Having trouble with buffer underruns. Am told by xcdroast author that it is a kernel ide driver issue, specifically not using dma for transfers and recommended I try a newer kernel. My question is whether the 2.5.75 kernel is going to improve this situation before going to the trouble to install it? Thanks, L. Baker
