I've said this before, but my suggestion is:

By all means, keep the RT kernel on your milling-machine-control box,
but on the others, that don't need to be R/T hard, then please,
please, upgrade them to the linux-generic-lts-backport-oneiric kernel
and then do an apt-get dist-upgrade on them. I'm sure of your problems
will just go away if you do.

You'll still be running the same OS on all the machines.
