Maybe it's a RTAI problem. But I have JFFS2 / RTAI running on a couple of
boards.
Have you tried this with a vanilla kernel without RTAI ? If not, can you do
that ?
If RTAI is the guilty one, then consider the following:
kernel_thread () is a syscall. RTAI captures syscalls. Maybe the syscall is
lost anywhere in RTAI.
