I've used it with standard kernels, and with realtime kernels as supplied by <a href="http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/" rel="nofollow">PlanetCCRMA</a>. I've never used it with a custom compiled kernel. I'm not aware of any special settings - at least I haven't had to use any. But I recommend you read up about it, e.g. <a href="http://fedorasolved.org/Members/zcat/akmods" rel="nofollow">here</a> and ask for support on the relevant lists.
