[Bug 290498] Re: linux-rt restricted to one CPU

[Javier Garcia]

Realtime Dutchman's instructions for compiling a kernel are excellent.
This was my first time compiling a kernel and I was able to do so with
no problems compiling or installing.  I have an AMD Athlon64 X2 5600+
(i.e. dual-core).

When I compiled the exact generic kernel and patch recommended by
Realtime Dutchman (linux-source-2.6.29_2.6.29-02062905_all.deb and
patch-2.6.29.5-rt21.bz2), it seems to have resolved everything.  No
system issues, no xruns on jackd and the load on the CPUs looks normal:

Cpu0  :  0.3%us,  0.3%sy,  0.0%ni, 99.3%id,  0.0%wa,  0.0%hi,  0.0%si,  0.0%st
Cpu1  :  1.0%us,  0.7%sy,  0.0%ni, 98.3%id,  0.0%wa,  0.0%hi,  0.0%si,  0.0%st

NB:  When I compiled and installed what I believe to be the most recent
generic kernel code and rt patch as of this writing (i.e. linux-
source-2.6.29_2.6.29-02062906_all.deb and patch-2.6.29.6-rt23.bz2), I
experienced intermittent issues with my USB keyboard's keys getting
'sticky' (i.e. single keystroke results in multiple characters) and what
looked like a video card issue when the machine booted up (just once).
Not sure if this is related, but my machine has an NVidia video card
(GeForce 7100 GS).
