Hello I am new to rtlinux and have a few basic questions.

1.      After I compile the kernel (2.2.10) with the rtlinux patch, do
        I have to insmod any modules to get the rtlinux scheduler etc
        into the kernel

2.      When processing interrupts do I have to do an EOI in the ISR or
        does simply exiting the ISR do this?

3.      Are all interrupts passed on to the linux kernel so that it can
        further process the interrupts as necessary?

4.      What is the quickest and most efficient way to tell a user space
        process that an interrupt has occurred.  I would prefer to block
        the user space process (thread) instead of having it poll for some
        value.

5.      I am using RedHat 6.0 and gcc.  Do I have to use a different compiler.
        I heard something about egcs but I am not sure if the latest version of
        gcc (that came with RH6.0) actually is egcs (I heard they have merged?).

Thanks for all the help
