How to boot linux 2.26.8-3 rt in GRUB

[camper365]

I just used synaptic to install Ubuntu Studio and all the packages that come with it, and I was wondering how to use GRUB to boot the kernel that comes with it.
I have tried using the commands in the GRUB command line for the Ubuntu Studio linux kernel, but it didn't start usplash and it looked like it was starting recovery mode.

Edit grub menu list


gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

and find your kernel and line

root=UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ro quiet splash

quiet is what you need to get splash

Out of curiosity, what does the rt kernel do?
I know rt stands for real-time, but what gets put in real-time?

here's the -rt wiki page explanation (http://rt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Frequently_Asked_Questions#What_is_real-time.3F)

I understand what real-time is, but which program specifically get put in real-time when run under this kernel?
