Hi Marije,
I also build an rt-kernel (2.6.29.2-rt10) for my Thinkpad T43 just a

couple of weeks ago and I am very pleased to find it working well.

Well, I don't know what might be missing in your config, but I put my

config here  as

a reference. The only problem is my Atheros WLAN controller, which

causes periodic xruns. That is why I configured a separate audio

runlevel without WLAN and a minimized process list. On the other hand,

this is the first time that I can use an rt-kernel for daily use as WLAN

and even suspend-to-ram work flawlessly.

This might be related to a recent change in Debian's kernel-package (are

we talking about the unstable branch?). Check

/usr/share/doc/kernel-package/NEWS.Debian.gz and

/usr/share/doc/kernel-package/README.gz in particular:
"Note that you will have to arrange for the actual initrd creation to

take place by installting a script like

/usr/share/kerne-package/examples/etc/kernel/post{inst,rm}.d/yaird or,

alternately,

/usr/share/kerne-package/examples/etc/kernel/post{inst,rm}.d/initramfs

into the correspondung directories /etc/kernel/post{inst,rm}.d, since

the kernel-postinst does not arrange for the initramfs creatorto be

called. You can thuse select your own; initramfs-tools or yaird."
Cheers
Jan
