Gentoo real-time kernels are in the pro-audio overlay. Not sure how up

to date they are. I think I'm running something like

rt-sources-2.6.29-something as the vanilla 2.6.30 kernel.org kernel

didn't seem to like my chipset. Go figure....
Anyway, they are there, and...small rant... ;-) ;-)
Why in the heck does *anyone* complain about not finding rt-kernels?

The source is publicly available and it's very straight forward to

build kernel source once you get in the swing. There isn't any magic

to building the rt-kernel and truly it's no more difficult than

building the vanilla kernel if folks have done that.
end of small rant... ;-) ;-)
Cheers all,

Mark
