Build problem

[John Wojnaroski]

Hi,

Trying to build with linux-2.6.9 and vesuvio

GCC is 3.3.5 with a P4, Linux is Debian sarge

Using the prepatched tar file

Linux build went just fine and system boots, so far everything looks in 
order

when trying to build rtai, configure complains
   
checking for RTAI Kconfig file... .rtai_config (supplied)
checking for module installation directory... ${exec_prefix}/modules
checking for Linux source tree... /usr/src/linux (kernel 2.6.9-SMP)
checking for RTAI base technology...
configure: error: HAL patch not applied/enabled in /usr/src/linux
make: *** [config.status] Error 1
rampart:/usr/src/rtai#

Is there another patch to apply? Would it be better to start with a 
clean kernel source and apply the patch file? Or did I miss a config 
option when building the kernel?

This is my first venture into the world of RT Linux.  A quick  comment 
-- the info provided, organization, and layout of all the web pages, 
technical detail is outstanding, and most helpful.

Regards
John W
