Booting it just led to panics. I decided it didn't like my hardware for whatever reason. I'm doing ok with the stock Debian Sid kernel, but I don't need latency as low as others might. Just to spread some KISS :-) Compiling a debian RT kernel is quite straightforward. Download debian sources or vanilla ones from kernel.org <http://kernel.org> Patch according to your release ( http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/ ) Run `make oldconfig` inside the sources dir, you will probably be asked about configs in the newer kernel not found in .config-YOUR_RUNNING_KERNEL Then follow the common workflow, run `make menuconfig`, at least change only the PREEMPT opt and seti it to 'complete preemption'. Create your linux-image debian package with make-kpkg (http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch08s06.html.en) If your running kernel works this one will too 99.9% my 0.02€ regards -r
Thanks, but I don't need to compile a kernel to meet my RT needs. -- David gnome@xxxxxxxxxxxxx authenticity, honesty, community _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
