The above suggesting doesn't work with 2.6.x kernels. (I was going to
mention that to Fernando as a possible small update to the install
instructions.)

For the newer Planetedge kernels you ned to modprobe the realtime-lsm
module instead. There were a couple of threads on this subject this
weekend. Check the archives for good instructions that helped me. I
presume this is the same for the kernel shown above but I'm not sure.

Good luck,
