My big issue so far with the 2.6.27-rt kernel is something having to
do with clocks. When booting it doesn't find the clock hardware I
guess, complains that it's not there, suggests lots of files have
dates in the future - that whole mess. However once it's booted to the
point where I can get control the clocks are working fine. I don't
know what to fix with that.

I'm also seeing some very strange delays with X. I get a GDM log-in,
then it disappears for 20 seconds, then it comes back. I haven't had
time to report it to the rt-kernel list.
