It looks like you don't have the realtime module loaded. Strange as it
should have been installed and configured. Check that you have the
"rtload" package installed:

  rpm -q rtload

If it is there check that you have the startup script activated to work
at boot time:

  /sbin/chkconfig --list rtload

If it is "on" then check if the module is loaded:

  /sbin/lsmod | grep realtime

If it is, then check that it loaded with the proper options (by default
"any=1", meaning any user can access realtime privileges). 

  /etc/rc.d/init.d/rtload status

Also, jackstart should work but it is better to switch to just "jackd"
when using the realtime module and fc2.
