update: 1_ tried to install 3.10-2-rt-686-pae_3.10.7-1_i386.deb from http://packages.debian.org/jessie/linux-image-3.10-2-rt-686-pae, but it didn't like my initramfs-tools version (apparently too old for the new kernel) and installed without configuration so had to remove. See log: dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of initramfs-tools: linux-image-3.10-2-rt-686-pae (3.10.7-1) breaks initramfs-tools (<< 0.110~) and is unpacked but not configured. Version of initramfs-tools to be configured is 0.103ubuntu0.7. 2_ my low-latency kernel is 3.8.0*. I compiled my own rt-kernel, using http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/linux-3.2.48.tar.bz2 and its related rt patch, as in the tutorial that Jeremy posted. The kernel compiles and installs fine, but when I load it from grub, Mint load correctly, and then (before seeing anything on screen) my screen goes black. Nothing to do there, tried to use hotkeys to get a tty, restart, or shutdown, but had only to push the power button. It's probably an nvidia driver-related issue, am I correct? Found some suggestions about patching the nvidia driver with some custom code here [1], but the driver they use there is quite old. And last time I had fiddled with nvidia driver it was the most painful experience ever... :) Will investigate further, please throw me suggestions if any, I might ask falkTX how he sees the rt-kernel for 13.04. I saw there is some working on Launchpad, but they are last modified sept. 2012 (?). thank you! best, M [1] -- Marco Donnarumma New Media + Sonic Arts Practitioner, Performer, Teacher, Director.

Have you looked at the KXStudio repos? They have a rt kernel that I have used successfully with Ubuntu 12.04 and 13.04 and it's really simple to install. They are currently moving from Ubuntu to Debian repos so their how-to in http://kxstudio.sourceforge.net/Repositories is broken, just look at these repos: https://launchpad.net/~kxstudio-team/+archive/kernel/ On Wed, Sep 11, 2013 at 9:47 AM, Marco Donnarumma &lt;devel(a)thesaddj.com&gt;wrote;wrote: -- Rafael Vega email.rafa(a)gmail.com

2013/9/11 Marco Donnarumma &lt;devel(a)thesaddj.com&gt; In 4th reply: `cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) .config && make oldconfig` this is quite unnecessary as `make oldconfig` will prompt you for newer configs not found in your current kernel configuration, moreover make-kpkg does run `make oldconfig` before start compiling. /r

2013/9/12 Jeremy Jongepier &lt;jeremy(a)autostatic.com&gt;om>: Quote from man page: Normally, if kernel-package does not find a .config file in the current directory, it tries very hard to get an appropriate one (usually a con- fig file already tailored for Debian kernels for that architecture), and then calls make oldconfig to let the user answer any new questions. So if you apply the RT patch, make-kpkg will ask you about preemption model. /r

Yes I know but I didn't formulate my earlier e-mail well enough. What I mean is that you still need to run make oldconfig, be it separately or be it via make-kpkg. When I think about it I wondered why I replied in the first place, your mail explains it all. Sorry for the noise :-|

If that doesn't work you could try Alt+SysRq+R,E,I,S,U,B, that should cleanly reboot the machine. I ever... :) Did you try the patch in my Github repository? You can download it with: wget https://raw.github.com/AutoStatic/nvidia-rt/master/patch-3.0-rt-nvidia.patch And then patch the Nvidia source, unfortunately I do noy know by heart how to proceed.
