Hi, I'm using kernel 2.6.29.1 without the rt patch and it works fine, but with the rt8 patch I recieve a kernel panic immediately after the bootloader. Both were using the same configuration with the exception of the realtime preemption options. I previously used 2.6.26.8-rt16 iirc and it worked fine, with the same configuration as well. early printk is enabled. I have uploaded my .config, lspci, dmesg from a working kernel, and the crash output from the kernel. http://www.persuasiveigloo.com/linux/ Thanks for reading, if you think any other outputs/configs would be helpful to debug this issue I will gladly upload them. please cc me as I am off list for linux-kernel -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rt-users" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
