Going back to your original post it seems you never said what kernel

Currently it seems you really didn't try to jump that far going from
2.6.24-18 to 2.6.24-23 which is likely why the booting part wasn't an
issue. Is that that your assessment?
Hi Mark,
The recap: I began by building and installing a 2.6.26 rt kernel. It
wouldn't load, just aborted with the UUID error. I decided to install an
Ubuntu-sanctified kernel, 2.6.24-18-rt, when it appeared in the repo.
Alas, I got the same error when I tried to load that one. After much
head-scratching, I gave up this morning and installed 2.6.24-23-rt, and
it works. AFAICT maybe I missed installing a modules package ? But that
doesn't explain why my home-brew kernel wouldn't load.
Best,

Interesting set of events. I certainly cannot explain it.
Note that I personally wouldn't trust anyone other than Ingo's team to
give me an RT kernel that actually works. I don't know how to follow
when a distro kernel packager decides to add other things to the
kernel what those things are and whether they cause RT problems. For
that reason I personally run nothing but the kernel form the RT team
without any additions.
Glad you have things working.

P.S. - It is generally very easy to download and build the kernel
straight from Ingo. You might give that a try one of these days. - MWK
