You should have seen this message while configuring Xenomai:

"NOTE: Xenomai needs either X86_LOCAL_APIC enabled or HPET_TIMER disabled=
=2E"

Please check if this message is visible (if not, we would like to know).
Then adopt your .config appropriately. Hint: Choose a processor type
that is reflecting your real hardware more precisely. CONFIG_M586 means
that there is no TSC, which is not true and quite suboptimal.
