[gentoo-user] realtime-preemption patch
hi, I just wanted to ask whether someone on the List has experiences with the Realtime Preemption patches by Ingo Molnar http://people.redhat.com/mingo/realtime-preempt/ applied to the gentoo-kernel. I have just tried it out but a LOT of files are not where patch thinks they should be, so I did not even attempt to build it. It would be cool if someone had an idea, since I am a bit unsatisfied with jack-performance overall. karsten

I guess you'd having problems anyway if you're using the (already heavily patched) gentoo-kernel. Why not start with a vanilla kernel, patch it with realtime-preempt and then apply any other patches you might want from gentoo-sources? -hwh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

could you point me to a list where all the patches are listed, as I really don't know what patches are applied to gentoo-sources.#? k

On Gentoo I build my own kernels. I dearly wish there was a realtime kernel project here based on Ingo's work but there isn't. To make the current 2.6.14-rt1 kernel it's dead simple: 1) Get the current stable kernel from kernel.org - 2.6.14 2) Patch it with Ingo's current patch - 2.6.14-rt1 If you need any help doing that let me know off line and I'll go through it with you. These kernels get a bit more difficult as release candidate kernels start coming out. Basically then you take some baseline kernel, which is not always the newest kernel, add the rc patches, and then add the rt patches. On the previous round I got as far as 2.6.14-rc5-rt7. Note that this kernel was built on top of 2.6.13, not 2.6.13.2. Anyway, it works, once you get used to the process. NOTE: Once you get one of these kernels booted you still have configuration work to do in terms of setting realtime priorities, etc. That's where it gets fun!
