KLV-Spectr-RT with full RT kernel 6.14.2-rt3

This new kernel 6.14.2-rt3 I have compiled on Friday and installed on KLV-Spectr-RT which is sr5 with the RT kernel.

After short testing it is looking like this is the best RT kernel I have been able to assemble to date. Coupled with KLV-Spectr it is blazing fast. The boot times are stunningly quick and I would really appreciate a test, even a quick one to check the performance under loads it's designed for,

Making music and playing software synths live would be a good check on the latency factors. This kernel I have in both usrmerge and non-usrmerge formats. The kernel is built with both AUFS and OverlayFS so should work on F96-CE_4 and work on Noblepup64 plus the entire line of KLV's

I will make the kernel and an ISO of KLV-Spectr-RT available soon as they are uploaded to a shareable location

Awesome!, I have an enormously overloaded week. So I probably won't get to it before Monday, but I'm looking forward to it. After this month I should be able to start working on a new build and layers based off this latest release.

I added an extra -rt3 to the name in the build configuration. Even though it is only cosmetic, I will recompile soon to fix that.

Tested 6.14.2-rt3 nonusrmerge on F96-CE_4 with good results!

So both the usrmerge and non-usrmerge versions are working. Tested that the kernel boots and operates as expected on:

• KLV-Spectr-RT based on KLV-Spectr-sr5 using OverlayFS

• Noblepup64-25 built late March 2025 using OverlayFS

• Noblepup64-25 built late March 2025 using AUFS

• F96-CE_4 using AUFS

• KLV-Airedale-sr17 using OverlayFS
