Maybe it's a RTAI problem. But I have JFFS2 / RTAI running on a couple of 
boards. 

Have you tried this with a vanilla kernel without RTAI ? If not, can you do 
that ?

If RTAI is the guilty one, then consider the following:
kernel_thread () is a syscall. RTAI captures syscalls. Maybe the syscall is 
lost anywhere in RTAI.
