Ingo,

I can't get any version of RT-preempt applied to 2.6.12-rc6 up to and 
including 48-01 to boot on any of my SMP systems. I get no log because 
it dies right after the "Uncompressing kernel" message. 2.6.12-rc6 boots 
fine.  I am attaching my config. Am I missing something obvious? I am 
building 48-01 with voluntary-preempt now to try that.
