Thanks Akkana. They're  both 32-bit, so I'll just add a new stanza to menu.lst 
and give it a whirl. I'm also downloading 64-bit 64 Studio just to see if 
that works differently. 64 Studio is derived from Ubuntu and Debian. My 
Kubuntu has an rt kernel just like 64 Studio, but it's a couple versions 
older. Might be other differences too, who knows, I might diff their config- 
files for kicks.

I was so excited with this new board. Onboard sound, gigabit ethernet, and a 
really cool feature-- the CMOS battery is mounted end-wise, so it's easy to 
remove and replace it. Whodathunkit. And now this...computerus interruptus. 
Argh.
