At least on the set of examples sent with the latest rtai-0.1 I doubt
you can crash anything on a standard dual SMP INTEL machine. It has been
thorougly tested on ASUS-SCASI 350 Mhz and SOLTEK-EIDE 350 Mhz MBs,
under various loadings. The only problem we got is that if you load the
coumputer to the point that the mause is barely movable you can get
"stuck on IPI TLB invalidate" messages. But that is not a bug.
So let's see:
1) - Are you using the latest 0.1 (around 27th of Apr.)?
2) - You told me you are using dual Celerons. To use Celerons on
standard dual SMP MBs It is likely you hacked the hardware, by cutting
pins. Is that true?
3) - Had you a look at the README files? Set the correct CPU_FREQ? Did
you cared to used ticks, or task periods, appropriate to your machine,
or simply jumped on the examples as they are. If you did not it is
likely you are using timings inappropriate for your PC.
4) - Do all the examples have the same behaviour under X?
5) - Have you tried them with alphanumeric consoles?
I'm looking forward for more precise answers. If any of the aboves has
been followed properly you cannot blame RTAI, if not I'll be glad to get
more precise informations to fix it.
Did anybody else experience similar troubles.
Ciao, Paolo.
