Hi,

I am trying to install RTAI on CentOS 7 but I can't get the patched kernel to boot.

I am trying to follow the installation instructions (RTAI_User_Manual_34_03.pdf).

I downloaded a kernel (3.10.32) that is close to the current kernel and has RTAI patches.
I patched and configured , built and installed this kernel.

When I try to boot this kernel, I just see a blinking cursor.

It seems that the patched kernel fails at the start of the boot process.
There appears to be no entry in /var/log/messages from attempting to boot the modified kernel.

I tried repeating the exercise without applying the RTAI patch.
This boots and everything appears to run correctly.

I have tried this several times, the unpatched kernel will boot and the patched kernel doesn't.

I tried configuring RTAI before building the kernel but it reported no error.

I note that there is no configuration item for "Use register arguments", so I cannot disable this.

Any ideas?

Alternately any suggestions for a suitable distribution to use instead of CentOS?

Cheers
Russell
