I had this all bookmarked a couple of weeks ago, but deleted them when I
got my system working :(

The easiest way to get your kernel patched correctly is to use ketchup -
not the regular ketchup, but one that understands the RT patches.

Here's the RT-aware ketchup:

Have a read of the RT wiki:

<http://rt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page>

RT patches:

<http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/>

I think you are right - there doesn't appear to be a patch against
2.6.26.3 yet; I would advise that you get ketchup to build you
2.6.23-rt1 to start with.

You would probably benefit from joining the linux-rt-users mailing list
(I did!). Details on at vger.kernel.org:

<http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html>

Hope this helps!

Cheers
