Re: EMC and Red Hat 8.0

[Paul <paul.corner-at-tesco.net>]

Hi Folks

A minimal RH 8.0 install with gcc-3.2.
2.4.20 kernel patched with rtai CVS code.

Initial results look promising - Aside from a fatal compile error with one of 
the low level SCSI modules there were no significant errors logged. Even the 
rtai interrupt trap tables compiled cleanly.

The built in rtai examples and tests that I've tried produce the expected 
results...

With only 1.2G of disk space and no XFree86 installed or gcc++, EMC tests 
will have to wait until I can liberate a bigger drive.

Sivaraj - If you still have RH8.0 installed, try the latest kernel and rtai 
patch. Usual warning here. Use a virgin kernel source rather than a Red Hat 
one - You will find RH add various "fixes" that result in any realtime 
patches producing a number of reject hunks.

Regards, Paul.
