The most recent Linux kernels for which it has patches are versions 2.4.29 and 2.6.9, which date back to 2004/2005. I can try my hand at compiling patched 2.4.29 and 2.6.9 kernels but first I want to be sure I can boot kernels this old on my development system. I'm 5 years dumber than I was in 2005 and I don't want to confuse hardware-support issues with rtlinux-emc2 issues.
