kernel I use for music production

[William Blackburn]

Hello, I want to share something with the music community.  I have been using the stock
2.6.38.4 kernel with the "ck" patch and have had nothing but great results with
it.  No X-runs or anything.  If anyone is interested, feel free to ask me some questions
about it.  If you are on Fedora 15 it might be a good options since I don't think
CCRMA has a rt-kernel for Fedora 15 yet.  I can tell you how I went about installing the
patched kernel if you need.  The patch also is said to speed up basic responsiveness, but
this subject is up for debate.  
Cheers everyone,
Bill

Are you saying patch and build ?

What problems were you having with standard Fedora 15 kernel ?

Is this with a slower or single core machine ?

As Fedora 15 does not exist yet...

A little bit more information would be great. What applications do you 
use? Are you running jack for them? With what parameters? (ie: frames 
per period, periods per buffer, sampling rate, etc). What soundcard do 
you use? Are you really loading the machine when testing?

And with the same conditions what kind of problem did you see in the 
regular Fedora 15 kernel?
