Thanks for your help.

I now recompiled with the your suggestions. The config-file generated my gconfig is attached.

The xenomai examples work. But when i do the local loopback test described in:
http://www.xenomai.org/index.php/RTnet:Installation_%26_Testing
the computer freezes after some time after the command './rtnet start'. It does not even show 'waiting for slaves'.

If i do the ctrl + backslash quit after running './rtnet start' i can see with lsmod that rtmac rtcft rt_loopback rt_e1000 rtpacket rtipv4 rtnet are loaded. But even if i do this forced quit the PC freezes.

Is it possible it would not crash if there were actually slaves?

Or do you have other suggestions?

Thanks again :)

Is this in my /boot/config-2.6.28.9 file? Here i see that CONFIG_PCI_MSI=y.

Is this something set up when i compile the patched kernel? Or how do I run without the above setting?

Reconfigure your kernel (make menuconfig/xconfig/<whatever>config) and
rebuild it. Without MSI support, interrupts will fall back to IOAPIC
handling which /may/ cause other problems (shared IRQ conflicts between
Xenomai and Linux), but let's check this first.


Please be sure to enable ACPI, except ACPI_PROCESSOR. Disabling ACPI may
be the cause of some issues (I have been beaten again by this issue
recently).
