in case you are interested in really bleeding-edge kernel rpms for fc7/fc6/fc5, i've created the -rt kernel yum repository, which provides the -rt kernel in rpmized form for i686 and x86_64, updated daily/bi-daily. The package is named 'kernel-rt' so it does not conflict with the Fedora kernel package - you can always revert to the Fedora kernel. The -rt kernel has the following main features: it closely tracks Linus' -git tree, has KVM, high-res timers, dynticks, fully preemptible kernel, preempt-rcu, plus all the usual upstream stuff that the Fedora kernel has enabled. (The yum repository pointers at the end of the announcement.) Ingo ----- Forwarded message from Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx> ----- Date: Mon, 5 Feb 2007 07:56:36 +0100 From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx> To: linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: v2.6.20-rt1, yum/rpm Cc: linux-rt-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx i have released the v2.6.20-rt1 kernel, which can be downloaded from the usual place: http://redhat.com/~mingo/realtime-preempt/ more info about the -rt patchset can be found in the RT wiki: http://rt.wiki.kernel.org This is a fixes-only release. Since the -rt tree has been closely tracking Linus' upstream kernel since -rc1, no new issues are expected - please re-report if anything is still unfixed. There are lots of changes relative to 2.6.19-rt6 (the last stable release), but these are mostly fixes and other gradual improvements. KVM is now enabled in the yum kernel on both i686 and x86_64 (and has been enabled since around -rc1-rt1), the -rt tree tracks kvm-trunk (which is a bit fresher than upstream KVM) and has a few additional paravirt speedups implemented and enabled. to build a 2.6.20-rt1 tree, the following patches should be applied: http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.20.tar.bz2 http://redhat.com/~mingo/realtime-preempt/patch-2.6.20-rt1 the -rt YUM repository for Fedora Core 6 and 5, for architectures i686 and x86_64 can be activated via: cd /etc/yum.repos.d wget http://people.redhat.com/~mingo/realtime-preempt/rt.repo yum install kernel-rt.x86_64 # on x86_64 yum install kernel-rt # on i686 yum update kernel-rt # refresh - or enable yum-updatesd as usual, bugreports, fixes and suggestions are welcome, Ingo ----- End forwarded message ----- ----- End forwarded message ----- -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
