We've got a winner! 2.6.29-rt1
I've just succeeded with a few tests: jackd realtime (64fpp with a USB
UA25) recording/playing Audio and MIDI with qtractor & qsynth and I
played a 32 channel ardour session - no xrun in sight!
I know this is old news since 64studio already ships a 2.6.29
pre-release - However, I run a debian squeeze/sid and
2.6.29-release-candidates were causing an OOPS on this system.
As it turned out it was caused by "irqbalance"! It took me quite a
while to track down that the rt kernel is no longer compatible with
irqbalance (it works fine with 2.6.24-rt).
Here's a debian package built for core2:
http://rg42.org/_media/wiki/kernel/linux-image-2.6.29-rt1_2.6.29-rt1-10.00.…
and the corresponding .config file:
http://rg42.org/_media/wiki/kernel/config-2.6.29-rt1.txt
kudos to the rt-linux devs.
have fun,
robin
I compiled 2.6.29-rc8-rt4 yesterday and 2.6.29-rt1 today (my first self
compiled kernels). I happen to have the same interface and it seems to
work well here so far, everything seems to work and misbehaving
applications still produce xruns.
Thanks for the warning about irqbalance, I was about to try it..
(Is this the script by fernando lopez leczano or something else?)
If someone is interested I have a buildscript and config for arch linux.
It's probably not optimal, I don't know enough about kernels for that,
but it works.
Best regards
