I disabled CONFIG_PCI_MSI (see config). Also, i can see that > IRQ16 is shared between ioc0 (I assume that is my hard drive) Nope, your hard disk controller is "ahci". The question now is to know if the configuration with which you have this issue is exactly the same as the non-RT one, only with Xenomai enabled. If you are in this case, then please send the two boot logs. Also, does this happen while running any Xenomai program? Do you really need things like NUMA, SPARSEMEM, SECCOMP, AUDITSYSCALL, KPROBES, FTRACE, SELINUX? -- Gilles.
