Nope. Unfortunately it doesn't work like that. We need to replace the whole kernel with a RTAI patched one. >> So is rtai version 2.6.24-16 the latest pre-packaged one available?

That is correct. 2.6.24-16-rtai is the latest available. It is usually such a big pain to build a working -rt version that works on as many PCs as possible, that I don't really consider building new versions unless there are really serious updates/problems. If there is someone out there who wants to contribute by doing this job, then we'll be happy to hear so. > Is this thread related to the recent change on the EMC2 Wiki front page > (by "Fox3") saying that upgrading emc2 in Ubuntu 8.04 destroys it? > > Is John's resolution good enough that we can remove that warning now? Yes, selecting the -rtai kernel version on boot (either by explicitely selecting it, or by having it as a default), should get a working emc2 "back".. I removed the warning, but added some info to Troubleshooting.
