Hi Julien
I'm trying to patch the linux kernel version
2.6.26.3 with the rt-patch. But
there's only a patch for 2.6.26. It's not working very well. Because some
changes were already taken into the kernel. Which command should I use to do
the patch properly. Or should I stop patching all together? Or is there another
experimental place to get newer rt-patches.
I had this all bookmarked a couple of weeks ago, but deleted them when I
got my system working :(
The easiest way to get your kernel patched correctly is to use ketchup -
not the regular ketchup, but one that understands the RT patches.
Here's the RT-aware ketchup:

Have a read of the RT wiki:
<http://rt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page>
RT patches:
<http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/>
I think you are right - there doesn't appear to be a patch against
2.6.26.3 yet; I would advise that you get ketchup to build you
2.6.23-rt1 to start with.
You would probably benefit from joining the linux-rt-users mailing list
(I did!). Details on at vger.kernel.org:
<http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html>
Hope this helps!
Cheers
