When I tried 2.6.17-rt2 on a machine with a heavy load (uptime would report from 2.7 to over 3.0, top would show one process consistantly using about 70% of the CPU power) the machine would lock up without printing out a single warning, trace, or giving any evidence about what it was that locked up. There was nothing printed to the serial console that I could go on. So, any complaints I could make about it would be vague. I could describe the system load, but it would probably be atypical for most linux audio people. Further, I had also patched the kernel with a non-official bigphysarea patch. -- Joshua D.
