Yeah, one can only hope!
I'm now writing you from my first booting 2.6.18-rt3 on AMD64. Still
many issues. Traces showing up in dmesg. For some reason all the
modules got built into the kernel. It seems that the make oldconfig
process failed me, but still:
mark@email-addr-hidden ~ $ uname -a
Linux lightning 2.6.18-rt3 #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Sep 20 13:14:06 PDT 2006
x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ GNU/Linux
mark@email-addr-hidden ~ $
It's a start!
