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 ?
Best,
dp
