Ok, your problems are video/ide related.
Googling around I found several posts about the 2.6.26 kernel and the preemption, big kernel locking stuffs (eg. http://lwn.net/Articles/282319/)
Far from being a linux guru nor a kernel or C skilled programmer one I understand there's something in the new stable release that involves RT_PREEMPT code so I just wanted to know what all those things meant for us poor end users.
Do we finally have to switch back to 2.6.24? I also saw Ingo Molnar's rt patch for 2.6.24 has been updated on 13th september (http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/) and argued that 2.6.24 is actually the preferred choice for RT tasks...

While I can boot this kernel and SOMETIMES not have it kill ide1, and also
have the nvidia driver built, I cannot claim to have used it yet. Not saying
definitely no, but just not yet. Previous builds of this kernel have caused
serious disk problems (though no data loss or permanent damage, just a holy
pain in the ...). I cannot let my self run it and try audio work until I can
solve the problems and know it is safe. 2.6.27 might be around first.
