All very strange to me. No problems here on Gentoo with any of the RT
kernels I've tried so far. Note that I've not played with 2.6.29 as
I've seen notable folks like Fernando reporting some problems on the
rt-kernel list, and I just don't feel the need for a new kernel all
that often.

Going back to your original post it seems you never said what kernel
you were trying to boot and then having problems with. What kernel was
it?

Currently it seems you really didn't try to jump that far going from
2.6.24-18 to 2.6.24-23 which is likely why the booting part wasn't an
issue. Is that that your assessment?

Cheers,
Mark
