A kernel without the RT patch doesn't include "RT", either for uname, nor for CONFIG_PREEMPT, but by using "threadirqs" as boot option, a standard kernel has some RT abilities too. As a side note, "cat /proc/config.gz | gunzip | grep PREEMPT" could be replaced by "zgrep PREEMPT /proc/config.gz". -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rt-users" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
