I did use "2.6.28-3-rt" when building that one. That way "cp 
/boot/config-`uname -r` .config" has sane options.

I just changes "Processor type and features -> Processor family (Core 
2/newer Xeon)". It was "Generic-x86-64". Everything else is as a default 
from "2.6.28-3-rt".

My steps, if someone like to try this very newest rt-kernel in his/her 
machine. Of course you need build-essential et al to do that. Here is 
basic howto:

sudo -s
cd /usr/src

wget 
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/testing/linux-2.6.31-rc4.tar.bz2
wget 
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/patch-2.6.31-rc4-rt1.bz2
chmod 755 *

tar xjfv linux-2.6.31-rc4.tar.bz2

rm linux
ln -s linux-2.6.31-rc4 linux
cd linux

bzip2 -dc /usr/src/patch-2.6.31.rc4-rt1.bz2 | patch -p1 --dry-run
bzip2 -dc /usr/src/patch-2.6.31-rc4-rt1.bz2 | patch -p1

cp /boot/config-`uname -r` .config
make menuconfig

make-kpkg clean
make-kpkg modules_clean
make-kpkg --revision 1 --initrd kernel_image kernel_headers modules_image

cd ..
chmod 755 *
dpkg -i *31-rc4*.deb

apt-cache search 2.6.31
linux-image-2.6.31-rc4-rt1 - Linux kernel binary image for version 
2.6.31-rc4-rt1
linux-headers-2.6.31-rc4-rt1 - Header files related to Linux kernel
