Search in top kernel makefile for "O=". > 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. You can get offical kernel releases from http://kernel.org. e.g.: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.16.tar.bz2 > > 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.

You need to configure and build the kernel, otherwise some configuration files are missing: - Run the prepare_kernel.sh script to apply the Adeos-iPipe-Patch and link the kernel with the Xenomai sources. - Copy your .config to the kernels root directory. - Run "make menuconfig" and select additional options. Make sure Xenomai is enabled. Or run "make oldconfig" if you are happy with the default configuration. - Build your kernel with "make vmlinux" or "make bzImage". - Then start configuring RTnet.
