I have successfully tried the 3.0.1-rt patch in buildroot a while ago and as far as I can see there is now a patch for 3.0.4 (3.0.4-rt13). It should be available from here (if kernel.org wasn't down): http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/ It would probably make sense to include the option to download and use this patch in the new menu. There are some changes to the kernel configuration necessary as well, as explained here: http://rt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/RT_PREEMPT_HOWTO Would there be interest to add this? We are not actually using this, so I am not sure if I could find the time to prepare the necessary changes. But having this available in buildroot might make it easier for us and other to experiment with the RT-PREEMPT kernel. Regards, Sven
