Hi,
   I am running 2.6.14-rc3-rt1 on my AMD4. Itis working *pretty* well
although I am having a few concerns. About twice a day I get a little
rash of xruns and sometimes the machine gets hung at power down
removing Alsa. None the less it's the only thing that works even this
well with my AMD64 SATA stuff so I'm happy.

   Ingo just released rt2. Here's paths to the stuff you need to build it:

 http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.13.tar.bz2
 http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/testing/patch-2.6.14-rc3.bz2
 http://redhat.com/~mingo/realtime-preempt/patch-2.6.14-rc3-rt2

Note that you patch 2.6.13, not 2.6.13.2 to get here.

Note also that this is NOT a stable kernel. There may be issues.
People mention LOTS of weird little issues on the kernel mailing list.

HTH,
Mark
