We have had a Xen Linux image, so there should be no problem to add an
-rt kernel variant. I would suggest filing a wishlist bug with patch
on the linux-2.6 source package.

realtime kernel for Debian (was: Please Improve Debian for Multimedia Production)

Grammostola Rosea,


I want also to direct your attention to the kernel, as it has the
possibility to be more supportive of those specific needs, by having
low latency and real-time extensions patched and enabled. The debian
folks (especially "waldi" aka Bastien Blank will say some or all of
these are less stable than they could be -- perhaps googling around or
asking him when he's not so busy will drum up some details.)
Mmh this is interesting, cause there is an realtime kernel available in 
the ubuntu hardy repo, but not in Debian yet. Would be nice if there was 
one which users could install. But I'm not an rt-kernel expert at all, 
so maybe I should forward this to some other people...


But I think it's good to have some discussion about a realtime kernel 
for Debian on the Debian-dev list...

Looking forward to your opinions on this.
