It's the first time I have downloaded, patched and installed an own kernel, and I have to say, it's not that difficult ;-) . BTW: I put modprobe realtime any=1 in /etc/modules.autoload.d on my Gentoo box. But does anyone know where I can put echo 1 > /sys/module/realtime/parameters/any so it gets automatically executed at boottime? In other Distros there's an /etc/init.d/boot.local, but not in Gentoo. Thanks & best regards ce
