Does anyone out there have an opinion on linux kernel
2.6.31-rt vs. 2.6.33-rt for audio?
Thanks,

i am in the process of updating.
had some problems with udev not creating device nodes for my HD
partitions.
i think i solved them. (didnt reboot yet)
make sure the deprecated sysfs interface is off.
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2
according to blackpenguin the symptoms match.
i also had a lockup when hal was started.
dunno... 2.6.31-rt (which i am running now) was a little bit less painless.

Do you build the kernel using make-kpkg? To be honest, for Hardy I never
used "--append-to-version=-1", but I did this for Karmic and there it
worked for 2.6.31.12-rt21-1. However that be, modifying
debian/ruleset/misc/version_vars.mk
-UTS_RELEASE_VERSION=$(shell if [ -f include/linux/version.h ]; then \
- grep 'define UTS_RELEASE' include/linux/version.h | \
+UTS_RELEASE_VERSION=$(shell if [ -f include/linux/utsrelease.h ]; then \

might solve the problem?!

Thanks for the tip.
FWIW, I built 2.6.33.2-rt13 by tweaking the current
Debian/experimental build system. So far it's been working
fine for me on two different Ubuntu-based, 32-bit, x86
systems.
Things I've noticed:
* The fan seems to run less often (good, it was
running too often before).
* 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' doesn't show the actual current
clock speed without loading in some other modules.
I haven't put it through its paces on RT audio, yet.

Good luck!

For .31-rt I never noticed that the fan ever was
audible for my adm64.
I do (.31-rt). Core Duo processor, in a laptop, with a weak battery
(i.e. power supply often adding heat to power computer and charge
battery).

Well, I've used it for several kernel builds with -j2.
Gets hot, but hasn't overheated... so I think I'm good.

I tried 2.6.33.x-rty with a config from 2.6.32. Did the usual make-kpkg thing with the env
variable CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=2 set prior to make-kpkg (dual core system). It built fine in a
reasonable time (my kernel config is home-made, a lot of stuff is not checked in).
But when booting, I got a kernel panic (first time in years!). So back to vanilla 2.6.32
which works great for me even for RT (see xruns only when unstable apps are sometimes
crashing - I use jack2 by the way).

Regarding to Torben's and your experiences it won't make any sense to
build .33-rt.
Anyway, I'll try to do it tomorrow.

i tried it once, waited 30 minutes, and the kernel it built didnt work.
i just built a proper bzImage using my config from gentoo,
and it worked.
i dont think i will bother with this again.
although this kernel is a bit bitchy :)
rebooting like 3 times in order to install a kernel.

You can trim out all the arch's you don't want
