I'm up and running 2.6.23-rt1 fine from the ebuild. Rather than using
make oldconfig I configured the kernel from scratch following the
HOWTO on the proaudio site. I have been using the realtime-lsm module
and wanted to see if I could switch over to using PAM. No probably as
far as I can tell so far. At least qjackctl starts and aqualung runs
without xruns so I think things are OK. Needs more testing but no
complaints.

I haven't compiled the 1394 stuff yet as they have made major changes
to the stack and I want to be careful about using that.

Anyone listening to the new Radiohead album. Available for any price
you decide to pay, including $0.00. It's my test audio source this
morning. Go get a copy if you like this sort of stuff.
