Has the Acid distro been updated lately? I think my copy is only a
few months old.<br>
<br>
<br>
I checked my laptop last night and it does not have any bios setting
for integrated sound that might be hosing me up..<br>
<br>
My next option if the laptop does not pan out, is a net appliance
with 8 USB ports... I am investigating that now.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I've seen URI driver issues in the past as well. In my
situation, all was<br>
working great on an older MoBo. Then, for some new repeaters,
I switched<br>
to a latest-generation Zotac Mini-ITX board with AMD 3.2GHz
dual-core CPU.<br>
These boxes exhibitied similar green LED issues and "Mr.
roboto" like<br>
audio problems. I found the problem was due to a kernel<br>
timer/compatibility bug with the new hardware....A was using
the default<br>
ACID install at that point--CentOS 5.3, 2.6.18.xxx kernel.<br>
<br>
I resolved the issue by downloading and "hand cooking" the
latest (at that<br>
time--2.6.30.5) kernel which had properly working hi-res
timer code. I<br>
also hacked the zaptel-dummy driver to use the hi-res timer.
Since these<br>
fixes, both boxes have run perfectly--the latest uptime (which
I just<br>
checked) is 208 days. Also, neither box exhibits any cold boot
/ warm boot<br>
issues.<br>
<br>
