AFAIK the realtime features are included with stock kernel as of 2.6.36, no recompiling necessary. Unless you're a tweaker. Debian sid currently running 2.6.38-2 series.

The latest one I have built is the 2.6.33-2-rt13 and I got an error like yours.
I disabled all staging drivers in the kernel config and it built OK.
I have no idea what disabling the staging drivers might do tp your system

Doh - silly me - I lost nvidia-glx somewhere in the upgrade, reinstalled that, and now I have got nvidia module working and 3d acceleration. Vroom!

Thank you pendrachken , re-installing xserver-xorg-video-all did the trick for the nv driver! Now I got gdm and desktop. I used apt-get coz aptitude is currently broken in sid. Still can't get nvidia module to work, even after modprobe nividia and lsmod |grep nvidia shows that it is there, and xorg....

Yeah, did m-a clean, update, prepare, a-i nvidia again.
The weird thing is, it can't even find the nv driver.

Hi, I recently upgraded a stable 32bit partition to sid by changing /etc/apt/sources.list. Now X won't start with nv, nvidia or vesa modules, I just get (EE) Failed to find module "nv" (NB: or nvidia, or vesa) (module does not exist, 0) even when lsmod |grep nvidia shows that the module is...

Not sure if this is the right place to ask... I am compiling a realtime kernel based on the .config from sid's 2.6.29-2 kernel and make failed thus: LD [M] drivers/scsi/sym53c8xx_2/sym53c8xx.o make[1]: *** [drivers] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/norv/KERNEL_2.6.29.2-rt11/linux-2.6.29.2-r...

Thanks Soul Singin' - your howto is well-written!
However I am keen to get the webcam working under the 2.6.29 series kernels that are currently in the sid repo.

[EDIT] Starting new thread specific to my camera and kernel, ignore this please...

Ah, thank you alleluia20! I had quite forgotten that nvidia-glx had been caught up in some sort of dependency conflict on my system
aptitude install nvidia-glx
did the trick and now my nvidia driver is working.
Thanks again

Trying to get nvidia working in 2.6.29 on debian sid... I tried sudo m-a update sudo m-a prepare sudo m-a nvidia clean sudo m-a a-i nvidia It seemed to build ok uname -a Linux sid5600 2.6.29-1-amd64 #1 SMP Fri Apr 17 10:12:36 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux dpkg -l nvidia-kernel-source ii nvidia-kernel-so...

Gregg, I had similar problem and discovered eth1 (in my case) had been renamed to eth3.
Changed all eth1 entries in /etc/network/interfaces to eth3, ran and so far, so good .

I just grabbed the updated alpha of the 64bit flash (02-2009), copied libflashplayer.so into ~/.mozilla/plugins, and Iceweasel and Epiphany play Flash.
Thanks Adobe!

I just rebooted and did
sudo m-a a-i nvidia
I'm on debian sid with unstable and experimental in my sources.list - unstable pinned higher.

To build the latest rt kernel (2.6.26.8-rt13) that works with audio esp. jack and midi you need Adam Samson's patch. This is the modified sequence (without bootsplash) wget http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.26.8.tar.bz2 wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/patch-2....

Audio users note:
The 2.6.26 kernel has major problems for audio, esp. MIDI. See
http://kerneltrap.org/Linux/Removing_th ... ernel_Lock
2.6.25-rt8 is reported to be OK for audio and nvidia drivers so I will try build that.

Thank you mzilikazi for the latest update.
I just built a 2.6.26-5-rt9 nvidia kernel from your instructions. I just changed rt8 to rt9 where applicable as rt9 is the latest patch.
Thanks again!

I might reinstall and do tasksel and compile from lenny b4 upgrade to sid.

Sound is not working with compiled rt6 kernel but is working with 2.6.25-2 kernel from sid. But both kernels see my iPod automatically when I plug it in via USB. lspci sees the soundcard. What I did: installed recent lenny businesscard iso and installed base system over net. Changed lenny to sid in ...

Hi and thanks for updating this guide.. I am trying to build 2.6.25.4 realtime kernel with rt6 patch. I am building 32-bit kernel on dual-core 64bit system (already got a 64bit partition with working rt kernel). I have tried several times but cannot get any modules built. When I boot into the new ke...
