<heh>  Yeah, I just figured out trying to manually apply the patches
today that I need to use a realtime directory of "linux" for the
PREEMPT_RT version and that rt-linux is different from linux-rt <sigh>

I'll have to re-create that.  I've blown away and re-started from
scratch several times now.  IIRC, there was a configure step as part
of grabbing the Debian build-depends that recognized the linux-rt kernel.

I then stumbled on trying to find the rt-linux directory (see above)
and headed off in a different direction (trying to apply Michael's
patches to HEAD).

I'm using amd64 as well, but am currently with the stock Debian
3.2.0-rt kernel.  I'm hoping to get a usable system (with hardware
help for motor control, no bit-banging the parallel port) with a
mainline kernel.

I think if any sort of workable system will run on an -rt kernel it
should be pretty straight-forward to migrate between any of the
available versions (2.6.x, 3.x).

That would be GREAT!

So far, I don't have much but some cryptic notes to myself I'm keeping
on a wiki page at the LinuxCNC site:
