I've a running 2.4.16-pre1 wth rtlinux-3.1 on my i386 single-processor
box.
The examples are working, the only problem is the rmmod of the rtl.o
module oopses.
The main problem was the BUILD_COMMON_IRQ - Macro in hw_irq.h
which is now patched in the old manner (like kernels before 2.4.10)
this way:
--
#define BUILD_COMMON_IRQ() \
__asm__( \
"\n" __ALIGN_STR"\n" \
"common_interrupt:\n\t" \
SAVE_ALL \
"pushl $ret_from_intr\n\t" \
RTLINUX_LABEL(do_IRQ)"\n\t" \
"jmp "SYMBOL_NAME_STR(do_IRQ));
--
the new version (from 2.4.10 til now)
#define BUILD_COMMON_IRQ() \
asmlinkage void call_do_IRQ(void); \
__asm__( \
"\n" __ALIGN_STR"\n" \
"common_interrupt:\n\t" \
SAVE_ALL \
SYMBOL_NAME_STR(call_do_IRQ)":\n\t" \
"call " SYMBOL_NAME_STR(do_IRQ) "\n\t" \
"jmp ret_from_intr\n");
--
a better way would be to rewrite the RTLINUX_LABEL macro, but this is
way too strange for me...
I think there are people out there who knows better how to do this.
the kernel--ops when removing rtl.o ist that the function-table
irq_control isn't set correctly when patching the kernel in
patch_kernel()
(All Pointers are NULL)
I will trace this down next...
If someone wants the patch, I will mail it.
The patch also will soon be available via
http://www.akk.org/~calvin/rtlinux_patch.html
