Your GRUB should add new kernels automatically to /boot/grub/menu.lst file. If not, you can add new kernel by editing file yourself.Originally Posted by seskanda
Realtime preemption is not included in the vanilla kernel. If you have CONFIG_PREEMPT=y in your .config file (what you see with 'uname -a'), that don't mean you have realtime preempt kernel. There's many changes in configuration if using -rt patch e.g. CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y which option you don't even have in vanilla kernel. But anyhow, CONFIG_PREEMPT=y is better than CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY=y in kernel configuration.

That's good to know.Originally Posted by tr
Where is .config file? I can only find a .config folder. I think your right, though. I ran Rosegarden and get "System resolution is too low." So, that must mean my kernel is NOT real-time preemptive. Now, all i need to know is HOW to re-compile it....I found a couple of guides, but they differ a bit. Here is the first one, and this is the second one. Which is easier to follow? Or do you know of a better link? Does yours or another realtime preempt kernel solve the 'System Timer' problem in Rosegarden, too?Originally Posted by tr
I decided to use a pre-compiled kernel, and installed 2.6.19-1-multimedia from this FTP site of Musix, a multimedia Linux distro based on Knoppix. Now, i have two serious problems when i boot from the new kernel. First, i can NOT open a shell as root or a user, Konsole gives me this error:
"Konsole is unable to open a PTY (pseudo teletype). This is likely due to an incorrect configuration of the PTY devices. Konsole needs to have read/write access to the PTY devices."
What does this mean and how do i fix it? Second, i can NOT get root access as a user, after i enter the root password, i get this error:
"The program 'su' is not found; make sure your PATH is set correctly."
What's wrong? I even installed two other kernels, one from the FTP site of Musix and one from your site, BOTH were version 2.6.21.5-rt18, but i STILL had the above two problems. I noticed whenever any of three kernels installed, i received this error:
"Hmm. There is a symbolic link /lib/modules/(version of kernel)
However, i can't read it: No such file or directory
Therefore, i am deleting /lib.modules/(version of kernel)"
Could this be the cause? Also, during bootup, instead of '...done' appearing when 'Waiting for /dev to be fully populated' comes up i get 'iTCO_wdt: Failed to reset NO_REBOOT flag, reboot disabled by hardware' followed by 'intel_rng: FWH not detected.' Is there anything i can do?
I think something has gone wrong with your kernel installation. Did you install it by 'dpkg -i linux-image*'? To correct your pty problem. add following line to /etc/fstab (it exists on Knoppix live CD but sometimes not after hd installation):Originally Posted by seskanda
I know Musix because they use my kernels on live CD, see http://www.musix.org.ar/wordpress/?p=70Code:/dev/pts /dev/pts devpts mode=0622 0 0
They are just testing http://linux.ilmainen.net/suomiknopp...ux-2.6.23-rt1/ kernel. I think you can use it safely.

I did use dpkg -i to install the kernel, but, NO, i didn't use linux-image in the name, because i simply renamed the long filename to 'linux.deb.' Next time i install it again, i'll just type the whole, long title itself. Thanks a lot. I just copied what you wrote to the end of the etc/fstab file, rebooted, and that was all; it fixed everything. Oddly, though, i still receive the same error messages during bootup. And I still have a minor problem. Boot time with the new 2.6.19-1-multimedia is slightly slower than the default. This is due to the fact of some additional errors (they were here before, too) which pop up. They actually come up twice. First, after the previous errors, and then again, toward the end, followed by "System is setting clock again." Strangely, i seem to have NO problems with clock settings, at all. Here, are the error messages:
locale: cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
Any idea what these mean? Do you think i'm better off installing the kernel, again? (of course, with 'linux-image' in the title).
Try to configure locales byOriginally Posted by seskanda
Try thisCode:dpkg-reconfigure locales
if it shows 'ii' (not 'hi' = half installed) and you see your kernel there in the list, kernel is installed ok. Of course you can install it safely again if you want. It works after rebooting system.Code:dpkg -l | grep linux-image
But take a look at your /boot/grub/menu.lst file. Sometimes Grub makes an error if using hd installed Knoppix by using 'rw' instead of 'ro'. Change that if it is the case.
Btw, that multimedia kernel is not my kernel. But kernel that boots Musix is what I have compiled. I think new Musix-DVD is going to boot with 2.6.23.1 kernel and have also that 2.6.23.1-rt1 realtime preempt kernel
Cheers

I don't understand the first screen that comes up. Am i supposed to select ONLY English/US languages? Those would start with "en" and/or "us", right?Originally Posted by tr
Everything looks fine. Here's the output (for the 2.6.19-1 multimedia kernel only):Try this

Where inside that file should i look?But take a look at your /boot/grub/menu.lst file. Sometimes Grub makes an error if using hd installed Knoppix by using 'rw' instead of 'ro'. Change that if it is the case.
