Hi When running a slightly patched 3.0-rt7 kernel as a low latency desktop config with the kconfig as attached i get appended error below. I'm not sure if you are interested in these errors but since you are aiming for inclusion into mainline, i think these errors are also worthwhile? Note this is not a vanilla 3.0-rt7 since that does not run on our hardware, but tried to make sure that this error is not from my platform patches. Best regards Tim PS: This error does not occur on non vanilla 3.0 (without rt7 patch) PPS: This seems to apear on every boot: kernel BUG at kernel/posix-cpu-timers.c:1315!
