[LAU] rtirq question

Ok, here goes a stupid question. So, I got Ubuntu 12.04 lowlatency kernel running and I installed rtirq package that comes with Ubuntu. However, when I do sudo /etc/init.d/rtirq status, I only get the following: PID CLS RTPRIO NI PRI %CPU STAT COMMAND 3 TS - 0 19 0.0 S ksoftirqd/0 12221 TS - 0 19 0.0 S ksoftirqd/1 Does this mean that lowlatency kernel is not capable of providing the needed functionality or something entirely different? The /etc/default/rtprio config is vanilla: (including only the relevant parts) # IRQ thread service names # (space separated list, from higher to lower priority). RTIRQ_NAME_LIST="rtc snd usb i8042" # Highest priority. RTIRQ_PRIO_HIGH=90 # Priority decrease step. RTIRQ_PRIO_DECR=5 # Whether to reset all IRQ threads to SCHED_OTHER. RTIRQ_RESET_ALL=0 # On kernel configurations that support it, # which services should be NOT threaded # (space separated list). RTIRQ_NON_THREADED="rtc snd" # Process names which will be forced to the # highest realtime priority range (99-91) # (space separated list, from highest to lower priority). # RTIRQ_HIGH_LIST="timer" Any thoughts? Best wishes, Ico
