To apply i.e. patch-2.6.13-rc7-rt3 you first patch up > 2.6.12 to 2.6.13-rc7 and _then_ apply the RP patch.

Apparently many people here like to respond to messages/threads without reading them. Whether it builds or is functional on AMD64 is THE issue. It isn't a different issue...it is THE issue for this thread. It is also the very issue of the post you are responding to. > > You are of course right, that there's no RP patch that applies against > 2.6.12.5 or whatever current stable is.

I never said anything about 2.6.13-rc7. I did state that 2.6.13-rc6 will _not_ compile on amd64 if you attempt to add the RP patch. I also stated that to get RP you have to go with the "unstable" kernel and live with the "almost" RP that you get without the patch, or downgrade from the current stable kernel and apply a patch that works. The only one I had success with is 2.6.11.12. I get lambasted for trying to patch 2.6.13 and now I get lambasted for saying you have to use a pre-current kernel if you want the RP with amd64. I can't win with you people. I am not playing anymore. You all need something better to do with your lives.
