That's bad. I experience issues when using RT patched kernels > 3.8.x.
My machine will lock and there are no helpful log messages.
The kernel-rt folks ask me to connect another computer by parallel port
to see what's happening, the Arch audio people recommended to remove
cards, to see if the kernel would work after a card is removed. No
options for me right now.
However, when using those kernel-rt's > 3.8.x sometimes the machine
locks when doing the login. Your issue might be caused by something
completely different, but for troubleshooting you might want to test an
older kernel.
I suspect you're using the default kernels, nothing special as e.g. a RT
patched kernel?
