I've casually watched over the last year or so as at least dozens of
messages have passed though the mailing list about which rt-linux version
can be used with which version(s) of the kernel. And I haven't paid much
attention to them because I had no intention of upgrading to a new version
until the project was done.
Well, that project is done and I'm in the terminal planning stages of the
next one and I've decided that I really need to upgrade to the 2.2.x kernels
and the most recent usable version of rt-linux.
I've just spend the last 15 minutes browsing a variety of web pages and I
can't find any explicit list of correspondences between kernel versions and
rt-linux versions, something that I vaguely remember that every answer to
every previous question about this indicated was available on the site.
Now, I'm not the best reader in the world. If I was in elementary school
today, I'd probably be classified as (borderline) dyslexic, but I couldn't
find even a single paragraph that said "use kernel version x.y.z with
rt-linux version blah-blah-blah."
If we're serious about getting people to use rt-linux, I think that this is
the first thing you'd want to tell them -- what the system requirements are.
I'll probably try to download what I think is a complete package including a
pre-patched kernel tomorrow from work where I have T-1 bandwidth instead of
56K, but I'm not at all sure what version of the kernel that is, or whether
or not I really need the whole package.
