I can't seem to get any of the vanilla kernels to run on my machine--I
must need some Ubuntu patch, but I haven't any idea which one. I'll
look into it further, but for the time being it looks like my
debugging abilities will be limited to what can be done by compiling
the Ubuntu kernel (eg. no RT or latency tracing..)
Thanks again.
