Re: RT kernel on Acer laptop unreliable

Hi Jacek,

I have a script to install rt-patched kernel and thought you may give it
a go.

https://github.com/spinlockirqsave/scripts/blob/master/rt.sh

Script allows for installation of several versions of kernels though
some of them may require update of the url link to download kernel or
patch as these links change every now and then. I am using this script
these days to install linux-4.4.70 with patch-4.4.70-rt83 patch on a
couple of machines with success. Please use default option in Step 3
and 6.3 Substep in Step 6 to install former and copy existing kernel
config.

cheers,
Piotr
