Thanks for the hint regarding the herring... I took a closer look at the reference you gave and enabled the smi trick for no avail... It's still pulling sever hundred thousand ticks o0nce in a while. Unexpected failures galore.... It's a Dell Optiplex glx280 and I wonder if that piece might be unusable.
Is the AMD architecture less problematic? And is there a list of 'approved' hardware. I guess I have to delve deeper into it. Oh, would one of those step asic cards solve the rtai problem as well for me or will that haunt me forever on that box? Cheers and thanks for the help!
