[gentoo-user] Gentoo the Real-Time kernel
Has anyone tried the Real-Time kernel with Gentoo? http://rt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page Does anyone know if there are RT sources in an overlay anywhere? - Grant
Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo the Real-Time kernel
It's the only kernel I've used in years. In fact I've never run gentoo-sources for any reason other than installation. With my HDSP9652 I can run sub-1 mS delays consistently. You'll find the real-time kernel in the pro-audio overlay as 'rt-sources'. You might consider joining the pro-audio overlay email list to get questions answered about configuration, not that they cannot be answered here but pretty much everyone there is running it exclusively. Note that the leading edge rt-sources kernel does tend to be a bit behind the mainline kernel so you'll want to be a bit more careful with things like closed source video drivers and the like. While not so bad now there have been times in the past where the nvidia driver did cause real-time problems. (Called 'xruns' in the audio world due to the way Jack reports these problems.) I tend to run the Open source video drivers to simply reduce the number of problems I might run into but many, many people run both the ATI and nvidia closed source drivers without any problems.
