A few months ago, a couple of folks, Guilherme Nelson F De Souza <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and Bart Thissen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote about possible problems witth the aic7xxx driver and RTLinux 2.2. I am hitting similar though not identical problems on my Redhat 6.1 box with the kernel-2.2.14-12 update installed as FTP'd from redhat/updates/6.1/i386, files kernel*.rpm. Guilherme's message of March 1 describes having to hand-apply two rejected patches. This leads me to believe that he has done what I have done, namely apply the rtlinux 2.2 patches to the Redhat distribution kernel in the kernel-source-2.2.14-12 RPM rather than to the stock 2.2.14 kernel. I am also seeing problems with the aic7xxx driver in this configuration. No hangups, but certainly error messages in /var/log/messages from aic7xx which should not be there, and which are not there when I run the distributed RedHat 2.2.14-12 kernel from RedHat's binary RPM. Has anyone else done this? I need this system to have some capabilities which RedHat has put into their kernel, such as kernel NFS and RAID support, but which aren't in the stock 2.2.14 kernel AFAIK. I admit to not having yet built the 2.2.14-12 RedHat kernel from their source, nor to trying the stock 2.2.14 kernel to see if it has the same problems. Could compiling for a 686 be the problem? I believe the distributed 2.2.14-12 RedHat binary kernel is a 386 compile, but I did a 686 compile for my P-III. -- Stephen Walton, Professor of Physics and Astronomy, California State University, Northridge [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [rtl] --- To unsubscribe: echo "unsubscribe rtl" | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] OR echo "unsubscribe rtl <Your_email>" | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- For more information on Real-Time Linux see: http://www.rtlinux.org/rtlinux/
