It might crash and burn your system, make your hair curl, frigthen your cat and give you sleepless nights. You have been warned ! On PowerPC watch out for the following warning: __do_IRQ called for irq X. PREEMPT_RT will crash your system soon. __do_IRQ is deprecated and -rt does not support it anymore. Most of the PowerPC subarchitectures do not longer use it, but you might be unlucky and hit one of the remaining users. RT will spit out the message above and then do what it said. :) Download locations: http://rt.et.redhat.com/download/ http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/ Information on the RT patch can be found at: http://rt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page to build the 2.6.29-rc8-rt1 tree, the following patches should be applied: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/testing/linux-2.6.29-rc8.tar.bz2 http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/patch-2.6.29-rc8-rt2.bz2 The broken out patches are also available at the same download locations.
