i have released the -V0.7.48-00 Real-Time Preemption patch, which can be downloaded from the usual place:
http://redhat.com/~mingo/realtime-preempt/
this release includes an improved version of Daniel Walker's soft irq-flag (hardirq-disable removal) feature. It is an unconditional part
of the PREEMPT_RT preemption model - other preemption models should not
be affected that much (besides possible build issues). Non-x86 arches
wont build. Some regressions might happen, so take care..
Changes since -47-29:
- soft IRQ flag support (Daniel Walker)
- fix race in usbnet.c (Eugeny S. Mints)
- further improvements to the soft IRQ flag code
to build a -V0.7.48-00 tree, the following patches should to be applied:
http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.11.tar.bz2

Ingo,
I can't get any version of RT-preempt applied to 2.6.12-rc6 up to and including 48-01 to boot on any of my SMP systems. I get no log because it dies right after the "Uncompressing kernel" message. 2.6.12-rc6 boots fine. I am attaching my config. Am I missing something obvious? I am building 48-01 with voluntary-preempt now to try that.
Just confirmed that CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY works OK. Building CONFIG_PREEMPT_DESKTOP=y now.
