Is this a new feature of RTAI 1.5 ? We're using RTAI 1.3 / Kernel
2.2.14 and don't call rt_mount_rtai / rt_unmount_rtai and everything
works fine. We only do insmod and can use all we need of rtai like
Phil explained in his tutorial under

expo/montreal/paper/indexc.html
I hope, we haven't forgot something essential.
