Hi Janet,
RTAI will only work with the Linux 2.2.x kernel so yes, you have to upgrade your
kernel to use it. As it happens, Zentropix have a Redhat 6.0 based CD that comes
with RTAI but it isn't available for general release yet as we are still
tidying up some of our tools that will ship with the CD. However, we can send you
a provisional copy if you're interested. If you are, drop me an email.
Cheers,
Brendan
