Interesting set of events. I certainly cannot explain it.

Note that I personally wouldn't trust anyone other than Ingo's team to
give me an RT kernel that actually works. I don't know how to follow
when a distro kernel packager decides to add other things to the
kernel what those things are and whether they cause RT problems. For
that reason I personally run nothing but the kernel form the RT team
without any additions.

Glad you have things working.

P.S. - It is generally very easy to download and build the kernel
straight from Ingo. You might give that a try one of these days. - MWK
