1. Apparent Scheduler problem when using nforce based mobos

2. When running any version of the 2.6.0 kernel, the computer is 
subject to freezing when xmms and any acceserated graphics are 
occuring at the same time. Symptoms include sound skipping and 
screen freezes. If allowed to go long enough, the computer 
freezes solid and I am unable to even ssh in.

3. Scheduler Sound OpenGL Alsa Nforce

4. Linux version 2.6.0-test7-bk2

X. While the effect is most obvious as noted above, it also 
effects my use of kmail. It seems to take 5x longer to switch 
between kmail folders. The increase in time compared to under the 
2.4.20 kernel for switching also appears to be directly related 
to the number of items in the folders. I use the 'maildir' folder 
type. 

Please note that everything works as expected under the 2.4.20 
kernel.

Thank you,

D. Guy Cadieux
