Hi,

Thanks for all the flak.

I wish this were the case but I cannot confirm it. I only have 4
machines running linux and they all seem to have the same structure of
kernel source in /usr/src/linux-version and the binaries under
/lib/.... The other distros I run are Suse 8.2, 9.2 and some embedded
variant. I have not tried to patch them with xenomai and rtnet so
cannot tell if they give the same behaviour.....I am probably not
familiar enough with linux to understand exactly what is meant by the
split in src and binary and how that should differ from what I have on
my machines. Perhaps there are kernel binaries stored in other places
i do not know of or amongst the kernel src which is not taking place
on this slackware variant of mine.

 I have tried another 2.6.16 kernel src package on this slackware
distribution, exactly the same result. I have done

make bzimage
make modules
make modules_install

the latter to sync the modules and the src tree and then tried it. No
luck. I have no evidence that there is anything strange about my
kernel source directory other than that rtnet takes a nose dive on it.

What binaries is it looking for that do not get generated and put in
the correct place by the above mentioned make process? Also does the
build process of rtnet need any binaries?

Please, I repeat my request. Tell me the exact 2.6.16 kernel src
package to download (to be sure preferably exactly where to down-load
it). I will then use that package and see what it does.

Correct me if I am wrong:

If I take a vanilla kernel src and set this up under
/usr/src/linux-2.6.16 subsequently patch this kernel with xenomai and
build it with my current config file. If I then run the rtnet build
process on it, I should come right?

In fact, after patching the kernel with xenomai do I need to build the
kernel at all? Should not the "correct" kernel src patched with
xenomai be enough to build the rtnet thingy?

Appreciated,

kind regards,

Roland.
