So, if I use your config and select CONFIG_M686, I should not see the real-time menu in kernel config ? Well, I select CONFIG_M686 (Pentium-Pro) and am still able to select everything in the Real-time submenu. If I select CONFIG_M586 I see a message: "Note: Xenomai conflicts with PC speaker support. (menu Device Drivers/Input device support/Miscellaneous devices)" So, I go in the Device Drivers/Input device support/Miscellaneous devices menu, unselect "PC speaker support", and am still able to see the Real-time subsystem menu again. > TSC and IPIPE were > selected automatically. I built the kernel both with HPET HPET is suspected not to work with Xenomai. But if you do not have a real HPET, this option should be harmless.

No getting in or out though. I can not tell what network card you have, since you enabled all of them in your kernel configuration. Another usual suspect in such a case is CONFIG_PCI_MSI. Try disabling it and please tell us the outcome. -- Gilles Chanteperdrix
