You can probably use RPM --nodeps in case you decide to use something more recent. You most likely will save a LOT of time updating the Kernel, vs. trying to back-port all that crap. And I'd eyeball man-lives scale if you want to do that solo. OTOH, IIRC MontaVista had a supported 2.6.18 RT Kernel at some time time, I am sure they would be glad to take 25K for it. > Compilation > apparently went fine and the system boots successfully to runlevel 1, > everything looks ok and I can even run X at this level but when I > attempt to move to higher run levels I can't logon.
