So is there >any advice as to which patch set I should apply to my kernel? Is there a good reason that has to be exactly 4.9.5? Why don't you follow the 4.9 LTS as close a s possible by upgrading to a kernel version close to an available rt patch. 4.9.73 is from 2017-12-29, see https://cdn.kernel.org/ , IOW I would go with kernel 4.9.68 and patch-4.9.68-rt60 If you really want 4.9.5 you could try to do it as Fernando from CCRMA does: https://lists.linuxaudio.org/pipermail/linux-audio-user/2017-December/109022.html That way a patch might apply automatically with an offset or you perhaps need to fix it manually. -- 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
