When running 2.6.20-rt5 on a Via Apollo based mainboard with the "low latency desktop" preemption setting active the following messages were logged. This isn't all of them - there were quite a few, some of which passed out of the message buffer. I didn't see this with 2.6.19.2. I don't know about earlier -rt kernels because the machine concerned is a recent acquisition.
Any ideas? I'm happy to test things if it will help narrow down the problem.
