You can use kernel from the I-pipe git at:
git://git.xenomai.org/ipipe.git branch ipipe-3.8

And xenomai from the xenomai 2.6 git at:
git://git.xenomai.org/xenomai-2.6.git branch master

The only difference in the installation procedure when using this kernel
with this version of Xenomai is that the "prepare-kernel.sh" script will
not apply the I-pipe patch to the kernel, since the kernel is already
patched, so the argument to the "--adeos" parameter of prepare-kernel.sh
is ignored.
