As answered to the questions you initially asked on this list, the only known needed workaround is to disable MSI interrupts (I do not even know if it is still needed). So, if you have other problems, we would be glad to know it, because we like to think that when a kernel configuration works with Linux, it works when enabling Xenomai. So, any motherboard which works with Linux is supposed to work with Xenomai. > If there isn't a list online that I've missed, is anyone running > xenomai on a relatively recent machine with 8 or more cores without > problems? If so, can you provide hardware specs? Xenomai will have scalability problems when running on an 8 cores system (if you intend to run real-time tasks on each of the 8 cores). -- Gilles.
