?????? What's that? We need a kernel patch to make the LAU list work? ;-)
Here are the links that Steven posted when -rt14 was released. You
might start with these and take a copy of my -rt12 .config file. you'd
probably only need to change chipset stuff to get it working:
There's also an -rt15 but I didn't see much traffic on that.

Right there it seems inconsistent. Why isn't it built with the patches
that were released for 2.6.27?

Hi Mark,
According to its Synaptic entry the 2.6.27-3-rt kernel is built from the
2.6.27 sources with Ingo Molnar's patch for 2.6.25.5-rt9.
As some of you know, I've had nothing but trouble with Ubuntu's rt
kernel, specifically 2.6.27-3-rt from the current repos. As a result
I've been working in non-realtime, and I'm not happy about it.

I guess I could use a little more info before I even suggest a path
for you to take. when you say the "Ubuntu rt kernel" is this just the
standard rt kernel but supplied by Ubuntu, or is this an Ubuntu kernel
(i.e. - a kernel.org kernel patched with Ubuntu patches) and then
further patched with the rt stuff?
My #1 suggestion is to make sure you are just
using the standard rt
kernel. I had a bit of trouble with 2.6.25-rt so I stayed with 2.6.24
for a while and just recently moved to 2.6.26.8-rt12 which is working
fine for me but did require that I reconfigure it from scratch instead
of using make oldconfig so building it was a little more painful. It's
working well though.
I don't mind the configuration, even though it's been a while. I can hack
it. :)
I guess
it's just me but I don't understand the motivation for
running the newest rt kernel. I upgrade every 2-3 major kernel
revisions these days, or when I hear about a major bug, security
issue, etc. I used 2.6.21, 24 and now 26.
I'll be pleased to have *any* working rt kernel on this system.
Btw, will I still need the LAU list patch for ALSA ?
