Hi,

I am a newcomer and installed rtlinux v3.0 on a AMD-K7 600MHz PC
running redhat 7.0 with kernel 2.2.18.
Installation was straightforward by following steps in the INSTALL.

I found that when loading the psc.o module, the id() system utility gets
screwed up, returning a bad euid:

[root@hat1.konkoly.hu rtlinux-3.0]# lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
psc                    18264   0  (unused)

pci-scan                2808   0  (autoclean) [tulip]

[root@hat1.konkoly.hu rtlinux-3.0]# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) euid=4294967295 <= !!!
groups=0(root),1(bin),2(daemon),3(sys),4(adm),6(disk),10(wheel)

After this you can't even reboot/halt the system. First I needed to unload
psc.o:

[root@hat1.konkoly.hu rtlinux-3.0]# rmmod psc
[root@hat1.konkoly.hu rtlinux-3.0]# id   
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) 
groups=0(root),1(bin),2(daemon),3(sys),4(adm),6(disk),10(wheel)

I checked the FAQ, etc., but found no trace of such a problem. Can anyone
suggest something?

Regards,
Gaspar
