[Xenomai-help] Which kernel version fits with a xenomai release

Hoi,

I am a newbie. I have difficulty understanding what Xenomai / Adeos and
Linux kernel versions fit together and are actually tested.
How do you find out, where is this documented....

More specific situation:
      Ubuntu 7.10 (standard with 2.6.22.14 kernel)
      Dell Optiplex 755 (has very new ethernet controller from Intel not
coming with 2.6.22/.23 kernels). Ubuntu provides extra kernel e1000-ich9
module.

Any advise on 'recent' kernel/Xenomai versions to use?

thanx,
Gerard Haagh

Hi Gerard,

you find the matching kernel versions in ksrc directory. If you have an x86 architecture, check http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/xenomai/tags/v2.4.2/ksrc/arch/x86/patches/ for the latest official xenomai release and you see the linux kernel versions supported by xenomai 2.4.2. It also contains a README proving further details.
If none of this patches is matching your desired (or because of the NIC needed) linux kernel version, I suggest to try out the trunk version.

Best regards
Karl
