Bug Description
After applying the latest securtiy fix on Ubuntu Hardy, which upgraded the 2.6.24-24 and 2.6.24-24-rt kernel pakcages, the nvidia drivers and emu10k1 drivers are broken under thr -rt kernel (but works under the normal kernel). My guess is that some ABI change got silently introduced which broke the -rt subsystem. Such sudden breackage of stable distributions upon security fix is bad and damages much the reputation of Ubuntu. Please fix this as soon as possible.
The errors are the followings, related to the versioning of the __wake_up symbol it seems, as shown in the attached log file.

I am slightly confused how an update to -security (which is 2.6.24-23) affects you with 2.6.24-24 (which is from proposed). But as -proposed has to be rebuild with the security fixes anyways, can you check whether that fixes the symbols? The new version will be 2.6.24-24.53.
