Gentoo real-time kernels are in the pro-audio overlay. Not sure how up
to date they are. I think I'm running something like
rt-sources-2.6.29-something as the vanilla 2.6.30 kernel.org kernel
didn't seem to like my chipset. Go figure....

Anyway, they are there, and...small rant... ;-) ;-)

Why in the heck does *anyone* complain about not finding rt-kernels?
The source is publicly available and it's very straight forward to
build kernel source once you get in the swing. There isn't any magic
to building the rt-kernel and truly it's no more difficult than
building the vanilla kernel if folks have done that.

end of small rant... ;-) ;-)

Cheers all,
Mark
