Yes I do on 2.4.20 and 2.4.22 from kernel.org. So far all seems
to work but didn't do any measurements on it.
(I both use the preempt and low-latency patches)
Have you writting your own device drivers?
How did you make them preemptable?
I didn't... I still assume the kernel will lock
e.g. the same SIU irq

AFAIK, you can pretty much drop the low-latency patch in favor of
using the lock-breaking patch. It is also available from Robert Love
at the cited home page.
How about homemade device drivers when using the lock-breaking patch?

Thanks!
