Ref Item 1.6 - make a non-lapic, non-smp capable kernel for use on older hardware to make is less painful to drop hardy (memleak offered to produce the kernel config) I built one some while back, a 3.5.7-rtai kernel targeted at P4 UP running on Debian 7.1 (Wheezy) Both my workshop P4s are running it, with slightly lower latency than the 8.04 kernel gave (approx 7K loaded) If you exclude LAPIC the kernel will build fine but magma will not build against it. ( I think this maintains for Shabbys RTAI git too, but it was a while ago) The kernel config needs CONFIG_X86_UP_APIC=y CONFIG_X86_UP_IOAPIC=y CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC=y CONFIG_X86_IO_APIC=y for realtime to build properly, thereafter no problems. I can provide debs / config for the kernel, albeit it is specific to P4 rather than a more generic x686 but the change should be minor, just specific processor instruction set adjustment. regards ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Android is increasing in popularity, but the open development platform that developers love is also attractive to malware creators.
