I told you that it could appear to work, but was in fact buggy.

The latest mainstream kernel release is 2.6.32, 2.6.33 was not yet
released, as you will find out by connecting to http://www.kernel.org.
So, there is a patch for the latest mainstream kernel release, and it is
included in Xenomai package, so, as said in the README file, you should
get better chances than by using a one year old kernel.
