Hello,


  I am a new subscriber to your mailing list.  I'm trying to build rtai on
a CentOS6 system and am

encountering a number of problems.


  The CentOS6 distribution kernel is v. 2.6.32.  The rtai directions say to
download a fresh kernel

to recompile, but 2.6.32 appears to be no longer supported and not readily
available

from a source like www.kernel.org.  Furthermore, the recent rtai versions
only include

patches for 3.x.


   Therefore, I downloaded linux-3.10.32, and rtai-5.0-test1.  Following
the directions, I

can apply the rtai patches, but when I run "make localmodconfig", "make",
and "make install"

I get a variety of errors related to configure options and missing modules.


   Instead of describing the individual errors, I would first like to ask
if I am on the right track

compiling a 3.10.32 kernel + rtai-5.0-test1 in a CentOS6 system?  Should I
find a linux-2.6.32

kernel and use an older rtai with the corresponding patch?  Or, should I
use an even more recent

kernel such as 3.18?


   Thank you for your assistance.


Best regards,

Tom Hayward
