Assume you should use Debian/Ubuntu or Arch Linux I can help you to build a kernel-rt package. As long as RT isn't mentioned in the uname -a string, you don't run a kernel-rt. Did you copy the original config of your installed distros's kernel, run make oldconfig and cared about questions regarding RT?
