hello list, it's been a while...

anyhow, has anyone been able to confirm, deny, or preferably shed some
light on this 2.6 + -rt hang problem?

i am just now trying to get my machine performance-capable again after
moving two 2.6 quite a while ago, and i have come across the same problem.

i have tried with the latest cvs, and (probably a more useful benchmark)
millers 0.37-1 release.

i have tried kernels with pre-emption both turned on and off, since that
sounded like something that might trigger it, but both kernels hung.

i am running only with alsa at the moment, but i noticed that pd still
hangs even if running "pd -rt -noaudio".

i'm running ext3. i faintly remember there being some filesystem related
realtime problems in some 2.4 kernels. is there any chance these fixes
didn't make their way into 2.6?

i'm running 2.6.5... but i also got these hangs under 2.6.3.

pix.
