Step 1, go to a command line somewhere, and run:

  uname -r

You should see:

  2.6.20-16-lowlatency

(Or whatever the most recent kernel is.  Key word is the "lowlatency" mostly.)

The best one to use is "(auto)" if it works.  Some of the other ones can 
freeze your system.  I forget all the details on this stuff.  It's pretty 
arcane.

Also, that's a very old version, if you're up for building a newer one.  I 
don't think it would have any effect on this particular problem one way or 
the other.  I can't really remember what we've done since 1.4.0.

Anyway, let's start here.  If you have the right kernel installed, and you've 
booted it, then we're looking at something more nasty.  There *is* a bug 
report from someone who keeps getting this message even though he is supposed 
to have fixed his kernel.  On SuSE, I think.  So there may be some precedent 
for a real problem here.

Although I'm running Ubuntu Studio myself, and not experiencing that problem, 
so chances are very high it's a config/setup issue on your system.
