First... What do you mean by "crashes"? If you mean "stalls and seems to freeze the system", that behaviour is probably normal. As I told you, at this point RTnet tries to synchronize all the participants in the network, including the master *and* the slaves. Therefore, you must have actual PCs configured as slaves with RTnet, and all connected together with the master using a dedicated Ethernet network. If you have not done so, it seems normal that RTnet stalls at this point trying to initialize a non-existant real-time network (RTnet is not very robust against wrong configurations apparently... ;) ). If "crashes" means something else (a kernel OOPS for instance), then it is more serious, and you should give us more details. E.g. what are the messages displayed in the console after "Waiting for all slaves", if any? etc. You also may encounter NIC configuration problems with some card models. For instance, autodetection of the medium does not work with RTnet's "tulip" driver: I have to specify the medium as a module parameter. This problem does not appear with "normal" Linux driver. Try to insmod the RTnet driver modules, and do not execute the whole rtnet script, and check the dmesg messages, to see what could be wrong with the drivers. -- Romain Lenglet ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the JBoss Inc.
