Hi Roland,
Thanks for you reply that helps me a lot.
I don't quite understand "...Debian stable currently contains Xenomai
2.5.4 (with patches)...":
It seems the Xenomai source code & binaries are not automatically
included after I installed Debian 6.0.7. Before I switched to Debian, to
install Xenomai on my another Ubuntu laptop, what I do is:
1. Get a Linux kernel tarball from kernel.org and a Xenomai tarball from
Xenomai.org
2. Patch the kernel and make menuconfig
3. compile & build the patched Linux kernel, and generate a kernel image
4. make & make install Xenomai binaries
So, if "Debian stable currently contains Xenomai 2.5.4", which of the
above steps can be skipped?
With many thanks
Tom

Does that mean "2.6.32 48squeeze1" is not supported by this patch?
Strictly speaking, yes.
what caused the above problems?
When Debian was released (or when Xenomai in Debian was updated the last
time), the patch was made to apply to Debian's kernel back then.
Meanwhile, the kernel (sources) changed due to security fixes and other
important changes.
So the patch doesn't apply anymore. Until I update the patch in the
Xenomai package in Debian.
I'll need to adjust the patch in the Debian stable package and integrate
into the updates for Debian squeeze.
How can I solve them?
You can either wait until my updated patch is available from the Debian
mirror network which will be in a few days.
Remember that Debian stable currently contains Xenomai 2.5.4 (with
patches), so you might be interested in current "upstream" Xenomai
2.6.2.1 from xenomai.org. This one should work fine with Debian since
newer kernels up to 3.8 are commonly used with Debian. For this option,
you would take Xenomai directly from xenomai.org (follow the common
installation instructions there).
Hope this helps,
Roland
