Re: [LAU] How to build or from where to get a Low-Latency-Kernel Source

Also make a symlink from /usr/src/linux to your source 3) Apply the patch with: cd /usr/src/linux patch --dry-run -p1 < ../patch-2.6.24.4-rt4 The above command (with --dry-run) doesn't apply anything, just reports what will be done. So if you don't get any errors (and you shouldn't) you run it again without "--dry-run": patch -p1 < ../patch-2.6.24.4-rt4 4) Copy the latest working .config into /usr/src/linux, on debian/ubuntu it can be found in /boot/config-KERNEL-VERSION. 5) Configure your kernel with "make gconfig" (that's what I prefer). It needs some gtk-devel packages installed, I always forget which, but google knows. 6) Compile + reboot + make music :-) -- peace, love & harmony Atte http://atte.dk | http://myspace.com/attejensen http://anagrammer.dk | http://modlys.dk
