I got rt5 booting yesterday on a ARM core (Atmel AT91):
* LCD driver broken, booting stops during initialising driver (seems
to be broken in mainstream too)
* Strange issue with finding files in a directory. (currently checking
if it is RT-patch related.)
* Furthermore, the board feels slow... Can be perception only, need to
check it out...
* The patch (http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg45022.html)
that solved the problem at https://lkml.org/lkml/2007/11/26/73 is no
longer part of the RT-patch. I Need to test if it is still needed...

Kind regards,

Remy
