[PlanetCCRMA] Re: 2.6.12-0.18.rdt.rhfc3.ccrma kernel doing ok

[jan hendrik brueggemeier]

hi,

sorry to ask, but i am running currently 2.6.12-1.1369_FC3 here.
thats what me 'apt-get install planetccrma-edge' gets,
but i seem to miss the realtime-module. during booting it complains about
missing module.
do i have to install it by hand or have to load it manually?
everything looks fine and works. 
jack does work without realtime-scheduling, but not with it. 
what am i doing wrong?


best,

jan

 This is actually quite good considering that 2.6.12-0.15.rdt is light years
ahead of the  2.6.10-2.1.ll.

Once again I'll have to say that these kernels rock compared to the stock
2.6.x.  The boot time to desktop is faster, the desktop itself is snappier,
and the ability to do real multimedia is there.
