[rtl] problems with installation

[Jorma Ojama]

Hi,   I would be interested to control stepper motors with an old 75Mhz (mem=32Mb; HD=1.6Gb) Pentium Pc. I have installed Red Hat Linux 6.0 Hedwig 2.2.5 -22 Workstation installation on it without a network (just easiest standalone configuration). All the hardware seems to be Ok. The installation goes without any problems. System boots well and I have't found any problems with the default software.   lsmod gives: nls_iso8859-1 nfsd lockd sunrpc   I have tried to install version 2.2 (downloaded rtlinux-2.2 prepatched.tar.gz) of rtlinux and I have found following problems in kernel compiling:   Under menuconfig I can't get "Hard realtime support" in "Processor type and features".   Under "General setup" is no mention about APM BIOS calls.   The first installation I made with the version 2.3 and I had same problems. Compiling seemed to go well and I managed to make all the tests, but the system was not ok. Mouse was very slow and booting failed with nfsd and APM.   I have several years experience with HP-UX as an ordinal user, but this problem seems to be too much. Could you please help me how to continue?   With best regards   Jorma
