Re: comedi working only with Allsoft RTAI?

I'm having these same problems with RTAI 24.1.10 and comedi.
I have been looking around in the rtai code and i see that:

cat /usr/src/rtai-24.1.10/include/asm-i386/rtai.h 

#ifdef CONFIG_RTAI_LINUX22
#include <asm/rtai-22.h>
#else
#include <asm/allsoft_rtai.h>
#endif

and

cat /usr/src/rtai-24.1.9/include/asm-i386/rtai.h

#ifdef CONFIG_RTAI_LINUX22
#include <asm/rtai-22.h>
#else
#include <asm/rtai-24.h>
#endif

...so doen't comedi include
the else part for both cases?...since it knows
nothing about RTAI defines (CONFIG_RTAI_LINUX22)...
ok unless one is using 2.2.

But then in allsoft_rtai.h
there is:

#ifdef CONFIG_RTAI_RTHAL

#define HARD_CLI                 hard_cli
#define HARD_STI                 hard_sti
#define HARD_RESTORE_FLAGS       hard_restore_flags
#define HARD_SAVE_FLAGS          hard_save_flags
#define HARD_SAVE_FLAGS_AND_CLI  hard_save_flags_and_cli

#else

#define hard_cli                 HARD_CLI
#define hard_sti                 HARD_STI
#define hard_restore_flags       HARD_RESTORE_FLAGS
#define hard_save_flags          HARD_SAVE_FLAGS
#define hard_save_flags_and_cli  HARD_SAVE_FLAGS_AND_CLI

#endif

...again it does the else...and cause warnings like:

/usr/src/rtai/include/asm/allsoft_rtai.h:196: warning: `hard_cli' 
redefined
/usr/src/linux-2.4.19/include/asm/system.h:321: warning: this is the 
location of the previous definition

and eventually the:

> depmod:         HARD_CLI
> depmod:         HARD_RESTORE_FLAGS
> depmod:         HARD_SAVE_FLAGS_AND_CLI

???

Thanks,
