They may be good rt-kernels but I couldn't get any to work. I tried a 
selection of four different ones (including 2.6.31.6-rt19-686).

The 2.6.31 series would just hang after finding my USB flash card 
reader. The 2.6.29 selection got beyond that, then announced that it 
didn't get a response from /dev/hda1 so it couldn't boot and suggested I 
try /dev/sda1. I tried changing the grub command line to use /dev/sda1, 
which got it to boot, but then it failed to mount my home partition on 
/dev/hda3. I guess it was looking for /dev/sda3.

Currently running 2.6.26-2-686, non-RT, on Debian Lenny.

The search for conveniently addable RT kernels continues, I guess.
