My understanding is that CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE has nothing to do with interrupts. Those will still happen. But if a thread is running, then it won't be preempted by another thread until it decides to block (as opposed to being preempted at the end of its time slice or by an interrupt making another thread ready-to-run). -- Dave Hylands Shuswap, BC, Canada http://www.davehylands.com
