-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I guess I'm the first to try this suggestion. I was already running kernel 2.6.22.1-smp, so I patched it with patch-2.6.22.1-rt9 turned on the "Complete Preemption (Real-time)", and compiled and installed the new kernel.
Using this option seems no better nor worse than before. I still get pronounced end-of-round lags (which seems to be my only problem before and after the patch). I'm sorry to see the problem is not fixed, but I'm happy that at least someone is taking initiative to solve the linux DS problems. Ryan Burke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I'd like a copy as well.
