I may need to rebuild the Fedora Kernel, something I haven't done for
many years, to (hopefully) reduce the large number of xruns that I'm
getting using jackd. The plan is to build a preemtable kernel.
1. It look like the file .config in the kernel-devel RPM contains
the configuration parameters for the kernel that goes with that
version of kernel-devel. For example, right now, I'm running
kernel version 2.6.29.6-217.2.8.fc11.x86_64, so this would mean
that /usr/src/kernels/2.6.29.6-217.2.3.fc11.x86_64/.config
contains the configuration parameters for that kernel.
2. This .config file generates a kernel with voluntary preemption.
Is this to avoid a bug or suchlike, or just to generate a kernel
thought to be best for general use?
3. The natural way to do this would seem to be to unpack the kernel
source, using
