Install fglx and send the output of this command:
cat /var/lib/dkms/*/*/build/make.log

Sorry for my very bad English. :-(

The -preempt and -rt kernels are died. Definitely.

If reading the FAQ you prefer -rt over -realtime you know that you
must provide a lot of help. Otherwise you can give a little help for
bring to life the -realtime kernel and learn how live with it.

I meant specifically about soft and hard real time kernels which
missed a decent FAQ section.
