What are the hardware specs of your desktop and what soundcard/midi
controller are you using?  Do you have any extra boot options in your
menu.lst (eg. noacpi or some such)?

You mentioned that you had 64Studio installed, does it fare any better
with your hardware?  I have 64Studio on my Desktop and Ubuntu for my
laptop and am familiar (and happy) with both distros.
