Hello Kristoffer:
I have done almost exactly as you have, including the use of
pthread_wait_np() using both RTLinux 2.0 and RTLinux 3.0 with AMD K6-II
and K7 processors.
I started with Caldera OpenLinux 2.3 and downloaded patched kernels. The
system that has been around the longest is the AMD K6-II system. It
typically runs for months without rebooting. In fact, the only time that
the system has ever shut down is when the power fails. You might send
along your init_module() and let the group look there.
Best Regards
Wayne
