Over the last week I've compiled as best as I could a few kernels, After seeing the amount of time/work invested by the 64 studio team to release 64 studio, it's the least I can do to help as much as I can. 1) git-clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-2.6-rt.git = 2.6.28-rt 2) RT patch,kernel 2.6.29-rc4 = 2.6.29-rc4-rt I have both kernels installed on 3.0 alpha, It's difficult to determine which I like the best, but it's early days yet, and I'm no expert. On the forum stevea suggested using coldduck-unmastered.wav as a benchmark. http://jamin.sourceforge.net/en/tutorial.html Download: jam-ard-tutorial.tar.gz from the page. Play/Looped: Imported coldduck-unmastered.wav into Ardour Project qjackctl & ardour coldduck-unmastered test project = max = ?.?% It's working fine, and provides a universal benchmark to keep some sort of unity. What's needed is some real experts who can provide 64 studio with valuable input. I'm sure there's a lot of experienced kernel builders who have a lot to contribute. The 64studio forum wouldn't be the same without your never ending help Quentin and I'm sure the rest of the community wouldn't mind if I said thanks on their behalf.
