I use the DEBUG_LEVEL set in attached minf.cnf so if it
level 0, i use level 0:)... and crash = aniplayer goes down and music stops
in 1 second loop for forever.. only reset helps here.

i use the hack you(or draco - i don't remember) gave me as hint - i just
"deactivate" pmmu. it's really lame solution - i just rewrite 'PMMU' to
'FAKE' :)

hmm... but what can i do then? jinnee complains about its miss under
1.16(and to say again: ONLY under 1.16)

believe me, i'm maybe new to mint, but i know what is the case-sensitive
thing:) I tried evrything - exec bits, upper/lower case etc etc... then,
tada, i've got no error msg on 1.16 ALPHA... and now... it's here again:) So
the bug is in cfg parsing, i didn't change anything except the kernel
itself.

as i wrote, i'll do some more tests, i'll place it there then.
