You have to install one of Ubuntu "linux-source-*" packages. It should be of the version supported by Xenomai/I-pipe. 2.6.35.9 or 2.6.37 should be Ok. After that, install "linux-patch-xenomai" and follow instructions from its README.Debian. Usually you both apply the patch and recompile the kernel using make-kpkg utility (install "kernel-package"). Some Ubuntu/Debian versions are broken so that there is no matching linux-source in the repository at all. If so, use vanilla kernel with vanilla xenomai patch. Run make-kpkg to build the kernel. You still may use "xenomai-runtime" from the repository. > My other question is that can I compile a 2.6.38 kernel, drivers and rootfile > system with Ubuntu Natty, since that patch and xenomai-runtime do not > limit the kernel number.

You have to have an ipipe patch for this kernel version. If you don't have one. you may use git version of ipipe and patch the kernel by hand. It is much more complex but doable. -- Alex _______________________________________________ Adeos-main mailing list Adeos-main@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/adeos-main
