(these are not older kernels) One way to do it is (install i586 version): - make sure you have kernel-2.6.9-1.667 kernel installed and not kernel-2.6.9-1.681_FC3 rpm -q kernel - boot to kernel-2.6.9-1.667 (by choosing it in the grub menu at boot time - not remove kernel-2.6.9-1.681_FC3 rpm -e kernel-2.6.9-1.681_FC3 - Now obtain kernel-2.6.9-1.681_FC3.i586 and install it. wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/updates/3/i386/kernel-2.6.9-1.681_FC3.i586.rpm rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.9-1.681_FC3.i586.rpm > If the 1000Hz -> 100Hz is the only thing you need - just rebuild the > FC3 kenel with it. > > --> Uh huh.

If you are able to try my previous 2 sugestions - I can give you instructions on how to do this one.. And make sure you allocate sufficient memory for the VM - perhaps atleast 256MB. Satish
