You need the latest trunk/ to configure Xenomai for this kernel properly, or at least update those two files: - scripts/prepare_kernel.sh - ksrc/arch/i386/Kconfig. Please check if this patch runs your x86 hw reasonably well, while I'm busy merging ksrc/arch/{i386, x86_64} on the Xenomai side. The plan is to have a unified x86* tree for Xenomai 2.4 which has to work with all supported kernel releases, including 2.6.24. Yes, I know we are in -rc phase, but such merge should mostly reshuffle the directory layout, and not the implementation per se, otherwise, it will have to wait for 2.5. At the end of the day (i.e. sometime during the v2.4 maintenance cycle), we should have the I-pipe/x86_64 merged with the I-pipe/i386 support, leading to the I-pipe/x86-2.0 series, on top of 2.6.24, and all of that usable with a unified ia32/64 Xenomai support, which is basically what we already have now on the powerpc side of the universe. http://download.gna.org/adeos/patches/v2.6/i386/adeos-ipipe-2.6.24-rc1-i386-1.10-11.patch PS: slightly tested here. Looks ok, sun is still shining, birds are still singing, hardware is not burning - yet. -- Philippe.
