Hi evryone, I was using ubuntu 9.10 (ubuntustudio-9.10-alternate-amd64.iso) with linux-rt package. It was working well, I could run the Cyclictest with good RT jitters. Also, I was using comedi and could manage a USBDUX board and a M&C board (PCI-DAS6036). I needed to update my distrib for some reasons, so I did some search and found that Ubuntu does not support anymore the package linux-rt ... so I couldn't keep RT with an update version of ubuntu ... I installed a debian distrib in dual boot using a liveCD (debian livecd 7.0 AMD64, Gnome). Everthing went well and I could drive my board (PCI-DAS6036) with comedi without any problems. Here is the structure of my disk: /dev/sda1 = /boot /dev/sda2 = / (Unbuntu 9.10) /dev/sda6 = / (debian 7.0) /dev/sda7 = /home with a common swap, home and boot for both distributions $ sudo fdisk -l Disque /dev/sda : 80.0 Go, 80026361856 octets 255 têtes, 63 secteurs/piste, 9729 cylindres, total 156301488 secteurs Unités = secteurs de 1 * 512 = 512 octets Taille de secteur (logique / physique) : 512 octets / 512 octets taille d'E/S (minimale / optimale) : 512 octets / 512 octets Identifiant de disque : 0x000aa812 Périphérique Amorce Début Fin Blocs Id Système /dev/sda1 * 63 208844 104391 83 Linux /dev/sda2 208845 61641404 30716280 83 Linux /dev/sda3 61641466 156296384 47327459+ 5 Étendue /dev/sda5 61641468 70027334 4192933+ 82 partition d'échange Linux / Solaris /dev/sda6 70027398 131459894 30716248+ 83 Linux /dev/sda7 131459958 156296384 12418213+ 83 Linux I was quite happy with that and I decided to boot the rt of the debian distribution. It was not working (it was frozen at the login stage ...). So I installed the RT following this website: http://www.pengutronix.com/software/linux-rt/debian_en.html Since I installed it I have now 3 problems (that may be linked): 1- Grub erased my previous grub so I cannot boot on Ubuntu anymore ... (not linked directly to rt-user problems, but comes from the installation of rt distrib) 2- Cyclictest tests do not work anymore 3- My board is not reconnized automatically by comedi anymore 1- On debian: EVERYTHING OK $ ls -lah / lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 40 juin 25 17:13 initrd.img -> /boot/initrd.img-2.6.33.7.2-rt30-1-amd64 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 juin 25 10:13 initrd.img.old -> /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-4-amd64 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 juin 25 17:13 vmlinuz -> boot/vmlinuz-2.6.33.7.2-rt30-1-amd64 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 juin 25 10:18 vmlinuz.old -> boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-4-amd64 On Ubuntu (from debian): PROBLEM WITH THE IMAGE LINK $ sudo mkdir /mnt/Ubuntu $ sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/Ubuntu/ $ sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/Ubuntu/boot $ ls -lah /mnt/Ubuntu/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 janv. 10 2012 initrd.img -> boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-9-rt lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 janv. 10 2012 vmlinuz -> boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-9-rt I understand the problem ... but how to repair it ? 2- It seems that I'm missing linux-headers from kernel 2.6 (see bellow): ~/rt-tests$ make all cc -D VERSION_STRING=0.85 -c src/cyclictest/cyclictest.c -Wall -Wno-nonnull -O2 -DNUMA -D_GNU_SOURCE -Isrc/include In file included from src/cyclictest/cyclictest.c:37:0: src/cyclictest/rt_numa.h:23:68: fatal error: /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.31-9-rt/include/config/numa.h: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type compilation terminated. make: *** [cyclictest.o] Erreur 1 $ ls /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.31-9-rt ls: impossible d'accéder à /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.31-9-rt: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type $ sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.33.7.2-rt30-1-amd64 Les paquets suivants contiennent des dépendances non satisfaites : linux-headers-2.6.33.7.2-rt30-1-amd64 : Dépend: gcc-4.3 mais il n'est pas installable E: Impossible de corriger les problèmes, des paquets défectueux sont en mode « garder en l'état ». How can I solve this problem ? Can I install headers for kernel 2.6 together with linux-headers-3.2.0-4-amd64 from the standart debian ? 3- /dev/comedi0: No such file or directory (http://www.comedi.org/doc/install.html) $ sudo modprobe options comedi comedi_num_legacy_minors=4 libkmod: ERROR ../libkmod/libkmod.c:505 kmod_lookup_alias_from_builtin_file: could not open builtin file '/lib/modules/2.6.33.7.2-rt30-1-amd64/modules.builtin.bin' FATAL: Module options not found. $ ls /lib/modules/2.6.33.7.2-rt30-1-amd64/ kernel modules.alias.bin modules.dep modules.devname modules.symbols modules.alias modules.builtin.bin modules.dep.bin modules.softdep modules.symbols.bin Please, can you tell me what went wrong with the installation of the rt distrib ??
