Hi :)

I tried editing the AUR's kernel-rt (see 1. and 2. trial) and I tried to
build a package using abs (see 3. trail), all failed.

I edited the PKGFILE from the tarball
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nv/nvidia-rt/nvidia-rt.tar.gz
by copying from
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nv/nvidia-all/PKGBUILD .

I copied the lines for the checksums too. After installing nvidia-rt and
rebooting the kernel-ARCH, X started, but after booting kernel-rt it
finished with a black screen. I had to reset the computer.

I'll followed the instructions given by
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA#Alternate_install:_custom_kernel

There seemed to be the need to abort # abs, since nothing happened for
minutes. I tried again, fortunately then it only took some seconds.
