You better install a real-time kernel. Strange is it seems there is no "linux-rt" in Debian repos but outside. *** http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia Realtime kernel The Debian Multimedia team is not working on including a kernel image with the realtime-patches applied in Debian. Much of the realtime-patches have been accepted in the mainline kernel, to the point that for most purposes the stock Debian kernel is suitable even for realtime-like work. If you'd like to use a kernel with the realtime-patches applied anyway, you might want to consider adding the pengutronix repository from http:// www.pengutronix.de/software/linux-rt/debian_en.html . *** Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
