<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Thank, Jeremy! I'll reinstall F20 from scratch and follow your steps. Just a few more questions:<br><br><br></div><div>Should I install the akmod or the kernel-rt-devel package first? Or does it matter? I gather that as long as they're both present at reboot, everything should come out fine.<br>
</div><div><br></div>You mention a delay on first boot after installing the akmod. Can you estimate about how long it should take? It's possible that the first time I tried this, I just gave up too soon. <br><br></div>
Also, is there any harm in using the CCRMA kernel with the Fedora Jam spin? After weeks of trying to get various distros to play nice with my hardware, I'm to the point where I'd gladly accept one with most of the workhorse audio utilities pre-packaged for my convenience.<br>
