Hello Thomas,

I have tried the new kernel and have some good news and some bad news:

The good news: The machine boots and seems to run without major problems.

The bad news: It produces continuously lots of bug messages in the error 
logs (cf. attached dmesg.tgz). The error at rtmutex.c:743 was already 
present in 2.6.25-rt* when ACPI was enabled. The 'using smp_processor_id 
()  in preemptible code' is new here with 2.6.26.

Machine is an old Athlon XP (single core) on an EPOX mainboard with VIA 
chipset.

If I can help with testing, please let me know.

Bye,
         Jürgen
