I learnt that there is a bunch of good rt-kernels for

Pengutronix repos. Thanks to youki on 64 Studio forum for the tip:

They should work at least in Lenny, Sid and AVLinux
3.0. And why not in
Squeeze too.
I use currently 2.6.31.6-rt19-1-amd64 in Lenny, rolls just fine.
They may be good rt-kernels but I couldn't get any to work. I tried a
selection of four different ones (including 2.6.31.6-rt19-686).
The 2.6.31 series would just hang after finding my USB flash card
reader. The 2.6.29 selection got beyond that, then announced that it
didn't get a response from /dev/hda1 so it couldn't boot and suggested I
try /dev/sda1. I tried changing the grub command line to use /dev/sda1,
which got it to boot, but then it failed to mount my home partition on
/dev/hda3. I guess it was looking for /dev/sda3.
Currently running 2.6.26-2-686, non-RT, on Debian Lenny.
The search for conveniently addable RT kernels continues, I guess.
