you can't make Linux into a "hard-RT" OS. thats why RT-Linux exists, which is a different OS that happens to run Linux as one of its processes. as it happens, most of us who have played with it believe that Linux, especially on an SMP system, with its "soft-RT" capabilities, is quite adequate for pro audio work. --p
