 | It does seem that rtirq is NOT working at all,

8-)

 | or  in other words, is

 | Maybe you'll have an older rtirq. 

Yes:

 | You can do the upgrade the dirty way, 
 | by grabbing
 |   http://www.rncbc.org/jack/rtirq-20070101.tar.gz.
 | Locate where your existing rtirq is installed (mine is in
 | "/etc/init.d/rtirq" as of LSB) bur yours may vary (as in debian which I
 | don't grok very well:)

rm /usr/bin/rtirq


Ok

Download from: http://www.rncbc.org/jack/rtirq-20070101.tar.gz

Now:



cd /etc/init.d

rm rtirq # ok, I dont need it, and I have backups


mv rtirq.sh rtirq

ln -s /etc/init.d/rtirq /usr/sbin/

(just to lauch it in an easy way)


 | .  Make a backup. Locate where your rtirq 
 | configuration is also. Make a backup. Replace the existing "rtirq"
 | script with the supplied "rtirq.sh". Do the same with the configuration
 | by "rtirq.conf" (LSB suggest that's "/etc/sysconfig/rtirq", but YMMV)

I dont see this on my system...

locate rtirq | grep conf
/mnt/hda1/knx/source/KNOPPIX/var/lib/dpkg/info/rtirq.conffiles
/mnt/hdb2/var/lib/dpkg/info/rtirq.conffiles
/mnt/hdb5/var/lib/dpkg/info/rtirq.conffiles
/mnt/hdb8/var/lib/dpkg/info/rtirq.conffiles
/var/lib/dpkg/info/rtirq.conffiles



* So, I just added it there, see:

ls -la /etc/sysconfig/rtirq.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 918 2007-01-01 21:30 /etc/sysconfig/rtirq.conf

* Rename it:

mv /etc/sysconfig/rtirq.conf /etc/sysconfig/rtirq


 | . 
 | Check and edit the new "rtirq" shell script and eventually change the
 | variable which points to the new configuration file, something like
 |   RTIRQ_CONFIG=/etc/sysconfig/rtirq

It's ok

 | If you were under an RPM based distro (which I think you aren't) you
 | could just go on your life with
 |   http://www.rncbc.org/jack/rtirq-20070101-18.noarch.rpm
 |
 | Good luck.
 | Cheers.
