Re: [Xenomai-help] Sporadic PC freeze after rt_task_start

["M. Koehrer" <mathias_koehrer@domain.hid>]

Hi Jan,

I tried with Xenomai 2.3.2 and (still) the kernel 2.6.20.4 - same configuration as before.
I used the adeos patch for 2.6.20 that is part of Xenomai 2.3.2
Same effect.
The system freezes...

Regards

Mathias
