Hi Manfred,

Do you mean 2.6.21-rc6-rt0?

It does only appear, when the preempt_rt patch is applied. Did I get you
right?

This WARN_ON in __schedule seems to be triggered:

 if (!irqs_disabled()) {
                static int once = 1;
                if (once) {
                        once = 0;
                        print_irqtrace_events(current);
                        WARN_ON(1);
                }
        }

I've seen this on an Atmel AT91SAM9261EK board a few days ago, when I
was implementing GENERIC_TIME and GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS. I've tested with
2.6.20-rt8 and 2.6.21-rc6-rt0.
(an early version of the patch can be found here:
