Nothing in the responses so far from this list has solved the problem.
I reported it to Ingo on Feb. 10, and received no reply. I've since
compiled and tested a number of patched kernels, and I've determined
that the problem began with patch-2.6.13-rt13, since the problem occurs
with patch-2.6.13-rt13, but not with patch-2.6.13-rt12. I then reported
this finding to Ingo on Feb. 22, and I still haven't received a reply.
Is there anyone on this list familiar enough with the kernel and the
realtime patches to give me a clue as to where to start looking? I
can't find a changelog for the realtime patches anywhere, and looking
at a diff of the source trees for both patched kernels doesn't turn up
anything obvious. I know C, but am unfamiliar with the kernel code,
and trying to understand it enough to know where to begin looking will
probably take some time. Any help that might shorten the amount of
time I have to study the code would be much appreciated. Thanks.
