Hello,

RTAI 5 is unstable at the moment so building kernels for it doesn't make much 
sense. If you need RTAI, I recommend using this tree:

https://github.com/NTULINUX/RTAI (master branch or 4.9.9 release tarball)

As for the kernel not booting, make sure the drivers for your hard disk, SSD or 
NVMe device are enabled (Y) instead of compiling them as modules. This takes 
away the need for an initial ramdisk and solves most of the boot problems I've 
seen. If it's still not booting, it's important to see the kernel panic in 
order to solve the problem. Using `dmesg` `lspci -k` and `lsmod` from a working 
kernel is a great way to start tuning the kernel for your hardware.

(Run on sentence warning) Another option may be downloading the latest stable 
kernel from kernel.org and running `make localyesconfig` on that kernel, then 
copying that newly generated .config file to linux-3.16.52/.config then running 
`make olddefconfig` to sort out the issues between the new config from the 
latest stable kernel and your 3.16.52 RTAI kernel. Make sure that after you run 
`make olddefconfig` that you make sure CONFIG_IPIPE and CONFIG_IPIPE_LEGACY is 
enabled in your .config file.
