Ok, 

with the help of Paul Davis i think i have found what's causing  the jackd
FP exception. It seems to be a bug in the kernel when PREEMPT_REALTIME is
enabled:

~$ cat /proc/cpuinfo|grep cpu
cpu family      : 6
cpu MHz         : 0.001
cpuid level     : 1

Mhz == 0.001? Hrmm. No wonder jackd was freaking out in its timing code..
The real cpu speed is 1.2ghz.

flo

P.S.: Will retry with U3, to see if this persists.
