I'm running Mandrake 10.1 on my current music machine, and Mandriva 2006.0 on the machine I'll use for music in the future. Those machines run Mandr* kernel versions 2.6.7-1.mm_3kc.7mdk-i686-up-4GB and 2.6.12-12mdksmp, respectively. In the /boot/config* files of those machines I see this: CONFIG_SECURITY_REALTIME=m for some kernels, namely the "mm" optional kernels. Is this enough to conclude that those kernels make use of the -rt patch? If not, then I'm having one heck of a time finding -rt + Mandrake/Mandriva info on the web. Any pointers would be appreciated. For what it's worth, I'm getting pretty good music performance with ardour & jack on the 2.6.7 machine. I haven't tried yet with the 2.6.12 machine. Is there a kernel version that begins to include the -rt patch by default? If so, what's the oldest version like that? Thanks much... -- Kevin
