My appologies for this, the CD was shipped with debug (-g) on for the
modules, as well as the kernel, on slow machines with little memory,
this is a problem. Note that the errata page at
http://www.zentropix.com/products/rtlcd22/notes.html explains how to fix
this problem (by stripping the modules).

Okay, to solve this boot from a rescue disk and then run the following
command:
strip -g /lib/modules/2.2.10-rtai/*/*.o. If you're still having
problems, please mail me off the list, and I'll try to get your problems
resolved.
