When I tried 2.6.17-rt2 on a machine with a heavy load (uptime would
report from 2.7 to over 3.0, top would show one process consistantly
using about 70% of the CPU power) the machine would lock up without
printing out a single warning, trace, or giving any evidence about what
it was that locked up. There was nothing printed to the serial console
that I could go on. So, any complaints I could make about it would be
vague. I could describe the system load, but it would probably be
atypical for most linux audio people. Further, I had also patched the
kernel with a non-official bigphysarea patch.
