[LAD] [OT] Real-time threads on openSuSE 11.4

Hello all, My ex-collegues at Alcatel are screaming for help. They want to run an app (as root, debatable but that's another story) using SCHED_FIFO threads on an openSuSE 11.4 system. Using the 'default' kernel (which has CONFIG_PREEMPT not set), this works. Using the 'desktop' kernel (CONFIG_PREEMPT=y) they get an EPERM when trying to start a RT thread, even as root. As I haven't used SuSE for ages, has anyone an idea of what is happening here ? TIA, -- FA A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia. It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris and hysterically inflated market opportunities. (Cory Doctorow)
