Realtime Dutchman's instructions for compiling a kernel are excellent. This was my first time compiling a kernel and I was able to do so with no problems compiling or installing. I have an AMD Athlon64 X2 5600+ (i.e. dual-core).
When I compiled the exact generic kernel and patch recommended by Realtime Dutchman (linux-source-2.6.29_2.6.29-02062905_all.deb and patch-2.6.29.5-rt21.bz2), it seems to have resolved everything. No system issues, no xruns on jackd and the load on the CPUs looks normal: Cpu0 : 0.3%us, 0.3%sy, 0.0%ni, 99.3%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Cpu1 : 1.0%us, 0.7%sy, 0.0%ni, 98.3%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st NB: When I compiled and installed what I believe to be the most recent generic kernel code and rt patch as of this writing (i.e. linux- source-2.6.29_2.6.29-02062906_all.deb and patch-2.6.29.6-rt23.bz2), I experienced intermittent issues with my USB keyboard's keys getting 'sticky' (i.e. single keystroke results in multiple characters) and what looked like a video card issue when the machine booted up (just once). Not sure if this is related, but my machine has an NVidia video card (GeForce 7100 GS). -- linux-rt restricted to one CPU https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290498 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
