i've uploaded -V0.6.3 to the usual place:
http://redhat.com/~mingo/realtime-preempt/
which fixes two issues:
- priorities of SCHED_OTHER tasks not getting properly managed, hence they could end up 'starving' other SCHED_OTHER tasks pretty indefinitely. This could possibly solve the 'temporary lockup' problem reported by Mark H Johnson.
- fixed the 'high load average' bug
i dont know whether this will solve the 'hard lockups' reported though. It could solve your problem because the 'find /' kept running so it wasnt a hard lockup. I'll keep testing and i'll fix any problem i can reproduce myself.
