Installing an RTAI system with the gdbstubs is very time-consuming. I'm
having a jolly old time (sarcasim here...) trying to get the system onto my
computer. I seem to have hardware problems independent of the software,
but one time when all was working correctly, it took over 4 HOURS for my
computer to boot due to all the "module dependencies". At some point my
IDE hardware went nuts and I've been trying this on another system.
Zentropix web page states that this is because of all the modules that
support gdbstubs and they offer a program to remove that support from the
modules. However, upon trying to install my system onto a 486 with 8 megs
of memory, I set up the install to run overnight and 12 hours later it was
still accessing the CD and writing to the disk. I'm pretty frustrated at
this point.
Has anyone else had these problems (I'm installing from a Zentropix 2.2
CD)? I can get that with the small memory I'd create problems - I'm going
out to get a 64 meg memory module today, but I'd like to know of any one
else who has encountered, and solved, this installation problem.
