Dave-

  While it has been a while since I compiled a kernel, I think you might want to look at this if you are looking for stable...

Essentially the PREEMPT_RT patches are only considered stable at this time on up to 2.6.26, the newer stuff should be considered dev.  At least if I understood the article correctly.  At any rate this is probably where I would start if I was going to compile one today from scratch.

I've been using 8.10 without the rt kernel and am fairly happy with it
as a general purpose system. However, for my music purposes I need an rt
kernel, hence the original post.

I assume you refer to Intrepid ? Hardy seems well-regarded and (IIRC) is
now the basis for the upcoming release of 64 Studio 3.0.

Best,
