Could you be more specific? It sounds like the problem I'm currently
seeing with 2.6.26.6-rt11.
I had problems with earlier RT kernels such as 2.6.25.8-rt7 occasionally
locking up on my machine (in a way that das_watchdog wouldn't recover
from but the kernel software watchdog would detect), but 2.6.26.6-rt11
has been running happily for three weeks now.
The downside is that the MIDI port on my Audiophile 2496 doesn't work:
trying to open /dev/snd/midiC0D0 always returns EBUSY, even when nothing
else has it open, and events from it don't seem to make it into the
sequencer. In addition, the snd_ice1712 module seems to have a reference
count of 2 even when nothing has any of the sound devices open...
