Hi Oliver,


I'm trying again. The kernel directory has subdirs with the driver 
source etc. so if this below looks okay perhaps i'll have better luck. 
This is the source modified for realtime by timesys.com.


src
  - kernel
    - arch
    - drivers
    - fs
    - include
    - init
    - ipc
    - kernel
    - lib
    - mm
    - net
    - scripts

Thanks,
Eric
