Maybe the 2.6.32 patch will work, but I haven't tried it. 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. -- Gilles.
