Why don't you use the official kernel debs?
In my laptop environment I found an easier way to use 2.6.24-23-rt in
Ubuntustudio 8.10:
In a clean ubuntustudio 8.04.1 with all apt-update/upgrade I did a
distribution upgrade to intrepid and and just choose old kernel
2.6.24-23-rt from grub-menue. Until now I found no studio/audio-program
that needs kernel 2.6.27/28 for running.
Ok, if you are a developer, it would be better to help solving the
problems with the actual rt-kernel and make it useful for dual- and
multi-cpu systems.
Some days ago I posted here a short workaround how to come to the
2.6.24-23-rt-kernel without full reinstall of 8.04, but Cory adviced me
to be prudent with recommending such things because there might result
ugly messed up systems. For my self I had more mess-up with a
frustrating attempt to compile a 2.6.28-rt kernel with the config of
2.6.24-23-rt.
Happy New Year
