So, another test kernel available on the PlanetEdge repository. This one
is 2.6.8.1 with Voluntary Preempt P0 (and with the "nice all realtime
tasks" option in the sysrq key code - not tested). 

To install (after you have planetedge in your repository list):
  apt-get install kernel#2.6.8.1-1.520.1vP0.ll.rhfc2.ccrma
To install the matching alsa driver:
  apt-get install kernel-module-alsa-2.6.8.1-1.520.1vP0.ll.rhfc2.ccrma
(only uniprocessor i686 builds for now...)

For tunables and more details see last weeks' post:
http://ccrma-mail.stanford.edu/pipermail/planetccrma/2004-August/005789.html

I wanted to include a newer alsa (the kernel modules) but it looks like
cvs access to alsa is down at the moment. 

Enjoy!
