It doesn't need all binaries in fact, but there are also header files etc. created during build, and specifically those were lacking for your first attempts. > > > I am going to follow this below suggested approach. > >> 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.

Compiling modules against kernel X, but trying to run them with kernel Y, is the right way to enter the winding road again :). This only works if both kernels were build from practical identical sources, using the same .config and the same compiler. So, be warned (and don't complain ;)). Jan
