Installing on Debian Sid was created by JT
I installed Debian Sid using my instructions here.

Then installed LinuxCNC using my instructions [/url] here.

When I checked the kernel I get
john@cave:~$ uname -a
Linux cave 5.18.0-3-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 5.18.14-1 (2022-07-23) x86_64 GNU/Linux

I've never seen SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC before and not sure how I got that... but the latency is horrible.


Edit: IIRC the first time I installed Sid then installed the rt kernel then installed LinuxCNC...

Ok, I figured it out, the SMP PREEMPT_RT kernel was installed but not selected on boot up.

Great you worked it out. Maybe the DYNAMIC is something added in the later kernels. 5.18 is bleeding edge stuff!

I have installed Sid a few times in the past when it was the only branch that included the linuxcnc-uspace package. Its quite long winded because you have to upgrade to it in the absence of an ISO.

You should not need to install the PREEMPT_RT package using synaptic as its a dependency of linuxcnc-uspace. It should get installed with Linuxcnc.

When I did this, selecting preempt_rt for booting was not necsssary.

Also now linuxcnc-uspace is in Debian Bookworm (testing), its easiest to just grab its non-free version from the weekly builds
