Right. Disabling CONFIG_HPET makes Xenomai work for me on this laptop.=20
Hurray!

I still have a strange problem though: after loading xeno_nucleus and=20
before loading xeno_native, the keyboard reacts strangely: each key=20
press results in at least 6 (and up to 20) letters on the terminal.

Before loading the nucleus and after the skin is loaded everything is=20
ok. And even while the keyboard reacts strangely, I can log in over ssh=20
and the systems seems to be fine.

What should I do next ? Do you want to try looking into the keyboard=20
issue, or should I rather enable the UP_APIC ? Or even go crazy and=20
activate SMP again ?

Stelian.
