I can also boot it under qemu (0.8.2) here, actually this is how I wrote the basic Adeos support before switching to real hw. Could you send me some boot log and .config? Maybe a bug is sleeping that triggers with your configuration and that doesn't with mine. > This booted fine and appeared to be stable enough for the short time I had it > running, so the next stage would be to run some tests with Xenomai.. > The current status (as of today's SVN head) for Xenomai/x86_64 is: - user-space tasking is fragile and barely usable yet. - kernel-space tasking is ok. - kernel level interrupt handling though the pipeline is ok. - switchtest is broken, with funky results regarding the FPU management in real-time mode. - I-pipe-wise, there also remains a random bug to fix in the syscall interception which affects non real-time stuff when the box undergoes real-time operations. - the I-pipe tracer works nicely enough to have saved my day a couple of times already when hunting double fault bugs, at least when the machine recovered from such bugs by being able to kill the offending Linux task and gave me access to the frozen trace log.

By the time the latter is ready for production use, 2.6.21 will soon be available I guess, and the effort to port from 2.6.20 to 2.6.21 would likely be much greater than upgrading from 2.6.19 to 2.6.20 anyway, given the number and the nature of the changed announced to the LKML. > > Regards, Paul. > > _______________________________________________ > Adeos-main mailing list > Adeos-main@gna.org > https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/adeos-main -- Philippe. _______________________________________________ Xenomai-core mailing list Xenomai-core@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/xenomai-core
