On the bright side, 2.8.18-rt* is the first -rt patch since 2.6.13 or so to be *smaller* than the previous one, due to many -rt only features going into mainline for 2.6.18. Hopefully this trend will continue...
Yeah, one can only hope! I'm now writing you from my first booting 2.6.18-rt3 on AMD64. Still many issues. Traces showing up in dmesg. For some reason all the modules got built into the kernel. It seems that the make oldconfig process failed me, but still: mark@lightning ~ $ uname -a Linux lightning 2.6.18-rt3 #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Sep 20 13:14:06 PDT 2006 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ GNU/Linux mark@lightning ~ $ It's a start! - Mark
