does ubuntu have the /proc kernel config option enabled? if so, you will
find a file /proc/config.gz which contains the kernel configuration of
the ubuntu kernel.
now grab a recent kernel plus rt patches, unpack it, unzip that
config.gz into the kernel build directory and rename it to ".config".
then "make gconfig", select fully preemptible kernel (real time), then
"make bzImage modules", then (as root) "make modules_install install".

there you go. unless ubuntu has lots of patches in their kernel, you
should be able to drop the new one in without major hassles. the only
thing that doesn't work for me when replacing the kernel (on suse
systems) is suspend-to-ram, ymmv.
