Okay after my third attempt and second complete re-install.. does any-one have links, suggestions about installing a real time kernel.
1 are you absolutely sure you need a real-time kernel or do you just think so, because this word keeps buzzing around? have you tried a _recent_ kernel instead (>=2.6.24), imho they have fairly good behaviour
Need was never my motivation. Perhaps more a "how-to" motivation.
2 are you building your kernel with initrd support; you really should do so when re-using an upstream kernel configuration, as most of the kernel-drivers are built as modules and you will want to load them in order to access (e.g.) your harddisk (to load further modules!); you have to add the "--initrd" to make-kpk
Yes I think my kernel build is right and I used --initrd. My problem now lies more in yaboot which only recognizes two operating systems Mac Os X and linux. There is no grub boot. So there is no option to boot into different kernel versions only operating systems But with --initrd does this mean I could disable the original kernel in "/boot" and only boot the rt custom kernel?
3 this is not exactly a Pd question, is it? have you considered [Pd- ot] or a debian and/or kernel-specific group?
Done. If any one replies please reply to pd-ot. I'm a bit intimidated by the kernel sites I've seen... thought some one might have had same problem.. Sorry Ede
