IRQ issues are generally I-pipe issues. And RTAI uses (almost) the same
I-pipe patch as Xenomai, thus shares the same bugs until they are fixed
upstream. Generally.

There are currently a few fixes floating around on Adeos-main, and we
(Xenomai) have some new report probably regarding MSI. As I think I have
seen something about MSI in your config as well, could you try to
disable CONFIG_PCI_MSI to check if at least the hangs disappears (given,
of course, IRQs line will then not be in conflict again)? Also can you
try (unless you already do so) with the latest I-pipe patch for, say,
2.6.23.x?

Another hint regard IRQ conflict avoidance: If RTnet (or RT hardware in
general) shares some line with a Linux device you may not depend upon
(Firewire? USB?), just unload the related Linux drivers. Of course, this
doesn't fly if it is your main IDE/SATA device...

Note that this IRQ stuff is most likely not RTnet business, so it would
be good to move the thread over to Xenomai.
