hey, new kernel here:
http://guests.goto10.org/~krgn/files choose " linux-image-2.6.26puredyne-nonrt-puredyne-nonrt_2.6.26puredyne-nonrt-puredyne-nonrt-10.00.Custom_i386.deb<http://guests.goto10.org/%7Ekrgn/files/linux-image-2.6.26puredyne-nonrt-puredyne-nonrt_2.6.26puredyne-nonrt-puredyne-nonrt-10.00.Custom_i386.deb> " this kernel does _not_ have complete preemption enabled. the reason is that I wasn't able to find a combination of patchset and kernel sources that wouldn't completely lock up my computer. I was wondering as to how a kernel (with all debian patches though!) would perform when enabling some of the core features, like the high resolutoin timer and 'voluntary preemption' and so this is the result. i find it really ok for me personnaly, but of course it might not be suitable for others. please test and give feedback, as to wether this performs to your requirements and standards. just as a benchmark: this kernel + hdsp running at 48kHz + 128 period size no xruns up until about 80% CPU (core 2 duo t5500). enough for me... :-) this opens up the question whether hard-realtime is really needed... but I won't answer that I guess. bbfn karsten
