[Xenomai] Virtual terminal does not work

[Xenomai] Virtual terminal does not work

[ali hagigat]

I have installed:

xenomai-2.6.3
linux-3.5.7
x86, 32 bits Intel-quad-core machine@2.4GHZ
Fedora 13
GNOME 2
Motherboard: ASUS Commando

Once I logged in as root graphically and then i used "switch user" icon and
then i logged in as a regular user and pressed, <CTRL-ALT-F2> and i pressed
some <CTRL_ALT-Fx> suddenly computer froze and i had a black screen, no
key-presses or mouse movements were seen and the computer started beeping
repeatedly.
When i pressed <CTRL-ALT-F2> to see a Linux text-based virtual terminal,
there is a black screen and no terminal and no key presses are seen

My kernel config file is attached, i thought to share this experience.

Doesn't the same kernel configuration, only without Xenomai patch, and
without enabling Xenomai, show the same behaviour?

Yes, you were right. I just copied the .config file of
linux-with-xenomai to a new linux-3.5.7 and ran 'make', it first asked
some questions about para-virtualization, high memory and huge page
tables and then started to make. Not sure if that wrote over that
.config file but when i logged in with the new kernel, there was the
same problem, i did not have virtual terminal in Fedora 13.
Thank you for your direction
