Hi everyone, I am trying to compile a realtime kernel
using this guide
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToVanillaKernelWithRealtimePreemption
except I am using the 2.6.19 kernel instead of the 2.6.16 kernel as the
guide says
and I am using the 2.6.19-rt15 ingo patch instead of the 2.6.16-rt26.
I am also applying the bootsplash patch bootsplash-3.1.6-2.6.18.diff.
Wow. I'm suprised anybody even uses that anymore. It is very very old.
You might want to take a look at fbsplash.

I have no problems patching the kernel source
The only thing that I can't do is change the setting " *Processor type
and features > High Resolution Timer resolution (nanoseconds)* to
/1000/. " because I can't find it. I figured that it was just taken out
of the kernel by the time 2.6.19 rolled around.
I believe tt's no longer needed. If I'm correct, the "tickless" kernel
patch is now incorporated into the realtime-preempt patchset. You can
read about it here:
http://kerneltrap.org/node/6750
However the compile fails with this error

Any suggestions? Need any more info?
P.S. Is an AMD Athlon 2600+ processor concidered i386, or i686, or does
it matter?
It's considered an "athlon".
