I was trying to use another HRT clock source and couldn't get menuconfig to let me select acpi-pm-timer, turns out it has been disabled in arch/i386/Kconfig, but the description is still in the help...

# bool "ACPI-pm-timer"

Is the pm timer incompatible with the RT portion of this patch?


The only timesource I came around to fixup is TSC in combination with
PIT or preferred Local APIC. Add "lapic" to your kernel command line for
UP boxen. Therefor it is disabled for now.


I'm looking into getting HRT and RT booting on a SUMMIT NUMA machine (cyclone timer), but after s/error/warning/ in arch/i386/timers/timer.c for the HRT cyclone ifdef, I still get the following link error:


It should be simple to fix this. Just not right now. I have no such box
and restricted time resources. Can you test a patch when I find a slot?

Absolutely.

But of course you are heartely invited to fix it yourself :)

As always :-)

Thanks for the response, I wanted to hear your take on this rather than making any assumptions as to the state of the patch.
