Hi I am using SLES 11 sp3 with Realtime extension sp3(RT Kernel) .
I tried to run (as root) the rtcheck -v and got the following error:
RTCheck 0.7.6 - Linux Real-Time Environment Checker
RTCheck Initialization:
Locking all memory: ok
Setting up real-time scheduling: ok
System Tests:
Looking up boot_id (220ed37a-7284-4e5f-aede-34de40bfd35b): ok
Checking for out-of-tree RT extensions: failed
Kernel was not built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y

Caching results in /var/cache/rtcheck: ok
User Permission Tests:

Some tests failed, exiting with status: 8
It shows checking for out-of-tree RT extensions failed and the kernel was not built. I am sad that I couldn’t find any guide which explains how to solve this problem.
Does anyone know how to set it properly to run RT on this OS?

Looking at this old thread https://forums.suse.com/showthread.php?3077-Problem-running-rtcheck-on-RT-kernel&highlight=rtcheck shows that (despite other problems, that lead to that old question in the first place) the out-of-tree RT extensions test then would run successfully.
Are you able to open a service request with SUSE? This might be something they will have to look at. The technical product information page (https://www.suse.com/products/realtime/technical-information/) explicitly lists [QUOTE]SUSE Linux Enterprise Real Time Extension is based on the 3.0 real time Linux kernel, and includes the open source community’s latest real time patch setÂpreempt_RTÂa set of patches that support preemption with adaptive locks, per device interrupt threads, and priority inheritance.[/QUOTE]so “Kernel was not built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y” does sound strange.
OTOH, some simple checks may help… you have rebooted the system after installation of the add-on and verified that the correct kernel is used (according the the release notes, the RT kernel should be used anyhow, but it won’t hurt to check)? Were / are there any packages that might need installation to supply the out-of tree extensions? (As you may have already guessed, I’m not that familiar with the RT add-on, so pardon any silly-sounding questions 
).

Jens
