Preemptive kernel in MD?

[chrisbirkinshaw]

Hi guys,

I have been trying to run brutefir in my MD with jack to allow real time room compensation and EQ but no matter how high I set the period jackd bombs out with xruns after 15 mins. I am assuming that the kernel is not preemptive, but have not checked as I am not sure how feasible it is to have a custom kernel running on a single MD. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Chris

   Hi,

 I recompilled the kernel on my MD, used the original /boot/config-2.6.20 and it works fine.

But when there is a kernel update won't the core push it out to all the MDs?
