Sorry if someone responded and we missed it, but despite much googling and all of that, am still working on getting my own kernel(s) [2 machines] going with the following as had been suggested last week: preempt_RCU No_Hz HZ_1000 and the other Rock-solid low-latency audio tweaks 99 ff migration 99 ff posixcputmr 98 ff IRQ-8 (real-time clock) 97 ff audio IRQ 80 rr Jack Found the preempt_RCU and HZ_1000 spots in the debian/ubuntu kernel hack, still looking for the rest please.? ** Would really appreciate the assistance with figuring out where/how to put those.
