Just for the record, I was able to build/install/test the RTAI/Adeos
function for ts11 with the following set of files:

tskernel-2.4.26-ts11-src.tar.gz
rt-tskernel-2.4.26-tsX-adeos.patch
rtai-3.2-magma-src.tar.gz


The only issue was very small and involved the patch file,
specifically patching the Makefile.  The version info and path to the
cross compiler toolchain didn't match my particular setup, but
examining the Makefile.rej file, as directed,  pretty clearly pointed
that out.

Initial tests show RTAI works really well for my application, even
when the rest of Linux is loaded down and running at 0% idle.

Thanks again for the help.
