Yo, back on Friday 05 February 2010 james morris was all like:
I've started trying to get a RT pre-empt system
using Gentoo. It's
painful. Spent most of my time so far just trying to boot a custom
kernel which I had zero problems with in Debian.
Is the pro_audio overlay any good? does it have the latest s/w?
I've always just applied the patch by hand overtop of the default gentoo-
sources package.
Before I built a custom 2.6.31-rt20 kernel, I used the pro_audio overlay
to get rt-sources which gave 2.6.16 which seems ancient.
Would anyone actually recommend gentoo for setting up an RT audio system?
