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?
