Basically, any linux version older than the version for which the patches are provided in xenomai sources, for which an Adeos patch exists in http://download.gna.org/adeos/patches/ is supposed to work.

Got it, but I'm still confused by the following definition: "any linux version older than the version for which the patches are provided in xenomai sources, for which an Adeos patch exists in: http://download.gna.org/adeos/patches/" The patches in 2.6.0-rc5 xenomai sources seem to be for these kernel versions: 2.6.35.9 2.6.37.6 2.6.38.8 And the Adeos patches are for these: 3.0.13 3.0.36 3.2.21 So the above definition doesn't match any versions? - Grant ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 18+ messages in thread
