It hangs on the last 2 or 3 services (few seconds before the login).
I've checked /var/log/messages, but the freeze doesn't leave any trace.
There's no error... the log simply stops when the system hangs. And the
log seem very similar to the 2.6.14-rc4-rt1 one which boots correctly
although sometime gives me some errors.
I'll wait
the next rt release (rt7) to see if the problem remains.
In my experience waiting for -rt7 will almost certianly not fix a
problem like this.
Specifically, where did it hand? What's on the screen? Does
/var/log/messages hold the last boot log on your machine? If so there
may be some clues there. Probably you need to change the kernel config slightly
to get beyond this.
Well, I simply make an oldconfig upon a well functioning 2.6.14-rc4
vanilla kernel. I've read each new voice and I've ended up answering
always no (except for the "Complete Preemption" choice).
This morning I've tried the rt8 patch and I can't even compile the
kernel! This is the error:
CC kernel/ktimers.o
kernel/ktimers.c: In function 'check_ktimer_signal':
kernel/ktimers.c:1209: warning: passing argument 1 of
'unlock_ktimer_base' from incompatible pointer type
kernel/ktimers.c:1225: error: 'struct ktimer_base' has no member named

make[2]: *** [kernel/ktimers.o] Error 1
Maybe today there will be some others releases.
