Hi Rui :)

I used the config from the self-build kernel 2.6.33.9-rt31 and run
oldconfig only to configure 2.6.39. I didn't make music until now using
this kernel. Yes, I wish to "emulate" the PREEMPT_RT, since common
PREEMPT only kernels never did, what I needed.

What do I need to set?

$ cat config-2.6.39.1 | grep PREEMPT
CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU=y
CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y
CONFIG_PREEMPT_NOTIFIERS=y
# CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE is not set
# CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY is not set
CONFIG_PREEMPT=y

IIUC this is correct?!

Cheers!

Ralf
