As Philippe explained earlier, this won't work because Xenomai 2.4 required some deeper modifications to adopt the new clockevent subsystem that came with 2.6.21 for i386. Those changes will not be backported to the official stable 2.3 series in order to avoid regressions. But you are free to do such a backport on your own - though I would rather suggest to _first_ test 2.4-rc1 if it doesn't work as well (given that it also includes the global affinity patch...). > > Or more general: What is the relation between Xenomai and Adeos patches? > Are the Adeos patches used (and tested) somewhere outside of Xenomai? > Or is it always the bundle Adeos + Xenomai? Xenomai is the only true official user of Adeos/I-pipe. Still, there are furthers as you may know: RTAI adapts the patches for its own use regularly (but fails to cooperate on the development, even doesn't report any glitches of the patches). And there is at least one user group at Siemens A&D (Nürnberg) as you can grab from the archives. But they changed the patches significantly and are probably yet on some older kernel (2.6.15).
