Ebo, I would think this requirement is driven more from the availability and performance side of RT patches than from what certain distros do, and me must make a priority decision here between 'tracking a given distro' and 'having a recent kernel' - note we are just pulling our leg out of a version trap (although that came with a kernel version, not a distro)
of course it would be nice if we found a matching kernel in some distro, and that doesnt exclude such matching kernels are built - I'm discussing with Seb how we can set up a buildbot scheme for kernels - (NB: plural) so if somebody comes around and supplies patches that should find its way there so such a matching kernel for say Xenomai is automatically built assuming Lars is right - which I dont doubt - then the RT_PREEMPT kernel will have to be pretty much bleeding edge and generic, like this: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/3.6/ -- What I am completely unclear about, and what I would appreciate being educated about - what are the compatibility issues of running a non-distro kernel on say Ubuntu 10.04 or 12.04 - I do that all the time, and still have to fund a problem, so I'm a bit unsure what the actual value-add of distro-specific kernel patches is - Michael Am 11.10.2012 um 19:52 schrieb EBo: > On Thu, 11 Oct 2012 08:02:14 +0200, Michael Haberler wrote: >> ... >> >> from what I collected so far, Linux 3.2.21 seems the latest 3.x >> series supported by xenomai, which maps fine onto the Ubuntu >> LTS/kernel version list: >> http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/info/kernel-version-map.html >> (precise LTS being the target platform) >> >> for RT_PREEMPT I'm open to suggestions - please share; by default I'd >> go for the same base version as the xenomai kernel >> >> ... > > my 2c would be to pick 3.2.14 for one of the kernel numbers as that is > the newest version that has been integrated into a couple of > distributions.
