>> Wow, great! Did you run linuxcnc with it, or just the RTAI test programs? I did normal load tests, which was what Paulo was after. The problem at present is that magma is only for 2.4 and 2.6 kernels. configure will actually exit if you try to build against anything else (until you hack it) There are obviously a lot of differences to includes and defines between 2.x and 3.x and an attempt to build falls over very swiftly. Something as basic a asm/system.h no longer exists in that form and presumably its contents absorbed into other files, because if you try to insert it you start getting redefinition errors. ipipe too appears a major stumbling block - albeit I didn't get very far. In the thread the announcement came from, Paulo acknowledges this and says he will change the CVS as time allows, which apparently is not much at present. He also seems to think it is a simple task! Probably is if you live and breathe kernels and rtai. The best thing we could do to encourage him is probably to build the patched kernel, run tests etc (I have it running this machine) and return favourable reports to him. If he thinks there is enough interest, that is likely to have some sway on his task management. regards ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free Next-Gen Firewall Hardware Offer Buy your Sophos next-gen firewall before the end March 2013 and get the hardware for free!
