I found out that my Asterisk system works beautifully with Linux RT patches, but basically not at all (unacceptable) without. Unfortunately, all the dozen or so RT patches for kernels between 2.6.25.8-rt7 and 2.6.29.1-rt4 crashed so soon in the boot scripts that I never had a chance to incrementally find out what programs were causing the crashes; I think it was deeper than that, anyway, because it happened so fast, and even in single user mode from what I recall. I am very happy to report that my Asterisk system is working as expected with RT settings, in 2.6.29.1-rt4. Thank you for fixing whatever bug you found that caused that fix. I have no idea whether it is a Linux kernel or RT patch fix. I must admit that I also recently upgraded my Gentoo packages, as I usually do periodically. If this was a libc bug or something causing a kernel crash, or something to that effect, well, then, I'm happy to have a temporary reprieve. I doubt it's that, though. What makes more sense is that I did see GCC got upgraded in my system just prior to the new RT kernel build, so maybe a GCC bug was causing the crashes before, and since I compiled the new kernel and all modules with the new GCC, that may have affected it too. GCC version is now gcc-4.3.2-r3, and I think before it was gcc-4.1.2.
