I reported it to Ingo on Feb. 10, and received no reply. I've since compiled and tested a number of patched kernels, and I've determined that the problem began with patch-2.6.13-rt13, since the problem occurs with patch-2.6.13-rt13, but not with patch-2.6.13-rt12. I then reported this finding to Ingo on Feb. 22, and I still haven't received a reply. Is there anyone on this list familiar enough with the kernel and the realtime patches to give me a clue as to where to start looking? I can't find a changelog for the realtime patches anywhere, and looking at a diff of the source trees for both patched kernels doesn't turn up anything obvious. I know C, but am unfamiliar with the kernel code, and trying to understand it enough to know where to begin looking will probably take some time. Any help that might shorten the amount of time I have to study the code would be much appreciated. Thanks. Chuck
