RT patch, error at boot and random freezes

[Roman Beslik]

  Hello.

RT patch version: patch-2.6.33.6-rt26.bz2
platform: x86_64
original discussion: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=797214

1. When booting, the kernel reports this error: (screenshot 220 kB

I did not see this error with a previous version of RT patch. I use the 
standard file "config*". Error is gone when "CONFIG_FTRACE=n" is set in 
"config*".

2. I experience random freezes. They occur approximately every day. OS 
is not freezed completely: Ctrl+Alt+F* works and the cursor blinks, but 
I can type nothing into "tty". Sometimes Ctrl+Alt+F* works only several 
times than OS freezes completely. Sometimes temporary (1-10 seconds) 
freezes occur and foreshadow an everlasting freeze. I run several 
application with real time CPU and I/O priorities and "mlockall". I can 
not associate any change in operation of those programs with freezes.

Though I accustomed to these issues, it would be nice to solve them.
