to build a 2.6.24.7-rt5 tree, the following patches should be applied:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.24.tar.bz2
http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/patch-2.6.24.7.bz2
http://rt.et.redhat.com/download/patch-2.6.24.7-rt5.bz2


***** NOTE ******

We are currently working hard to get 2.6.25.x-rt1 out the door. Seems
that some of the new code with respect to sched_clock and sched_rt
groups has broken the RT patch. When this is resolved, we will push out
a 2.6.25.x-rt1. Sorry for any inconvenience.

***** NOTE *****


And like always, my RT version of Matt Mackall's ketchup will get this
for you nicely:

The broken out patches are also available.
