Curiosity killed the cat ... Dr Curiosity here. I installed RTLinux 2.2 over the weekend on a dual Pentium III box. Works fine but I'm curious about a couple of points: 1. I see that /proc/interrupts now has IRQ lines 60-63 assigned to some RTLinux "devices" - fifo, RTL-scheduler, rtl_printf and RTL-clock. I think I understand why but a couple of sentences explanation from the developers would be nice. 2. I run xosview and prior to inserting the RTLinux modules (using insrtl) there is some common activity. After insertion, IRQ lines 14 and 19 are constantly "on" for one CPU. IRQ line 14 is associated with ide0 and 19 with the ethernet controller. I don't understand why these are asserted - or if they are? There is no increased usage value reported by either CPU in /proc/interrupts but xosview insists that they are constantly active on one CPU. What's happening (although it doesn't affect the responsivity of the machine because it's dual PIII). Regards amigos, (Tucson will be a cool 107 today with an overnight low of 72 ... aren't we lucky?). +==================================================================+ Phil Daly, NOAO/AURA, 950 N.
