Hello,
I decided to give kernel 2.6.10 a try, so I installed it in combination
with Con Kolivas system system responsiveness patch. But when I try to
run the latencytest (0.5.5), I run into the following problem:
$ modprobe latency-test
WARNING: Error inserting rtc
(/lib/modules/2.6.10-ck2-ck2-pentium4/kernel/drivers/char/rtc.ko): No such device
That looks problematic.
Did you enable HPET? When hpet timer is enabled, it disables RTC
interrupts. Even worse, it disables RTC irq even if HPET is not
detected from BIOS but only compiled.
(To be noted: HPET is indded on most of todays PCs, but it's never
correctly initialized via BIOS, APCI, whatever.)
