2.6.12 + RT ( PREEMPT_RT ) BUG: modprobe/7482, lock held at task exit time!

[SNoiraud]

I use the following RT patch from ingo molnar :
http://people.redhat.com/mingo/realtime-preempt/
I use CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y

When I try to load the module, I have the following errors :
# modprobe nvidia
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:01:00.0[A] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17

I see a new 7667 driver is available. I'll try it.
is this problem corrected in the new version ?

[SNoiraud]

Same problem with 7667 and nvidia installer.
this is allways at the same address :
... acquired at: os_alloc_sema+0x47/0x81 [nvidia]

[SNoiraud]

Can somebody help me ?
Where is the support from nVidia ?
If we can't have a nVidia driver Working for Real time, we'll found a new manufacturer !
We have more than 150 IBM machines with Quadro4 980 GXL
we actually wait for 50 new HP machines with FX1400
This project is for a big airplane manufacturer :
Flight simulator and 3D development.

Please note that the RT patch is still experimental and not officially supported. The lock in question is initialized to an acquired state, the kernel check generates a false positive. The driver should work fine with the check removed.

Please tell us, what other manufacturer is there that supports this unofficial real time patch?

just wondering what you mean by with the check removed.?
you mean something in the kernel needs to be unchecked ?
thanks
