Which way is the proper way? I recently built my first -rt kernel. WRT 2.6.16-rt20, I wasn't sure whether to apply this patch to the latest kernel (2.6.16.<whatever>) or just 2.6.16. To be safe I patched to 2.6.16, and it worked fine. I did this because following the "prepatch" example: <snipped from kernel.org> (for example, the 2.6.12-rc4 prepatch should be applied to the 2.6.11 kernel sources, not, for example, 2.6.11.10.) </snipped> -- paul w
