Look at the timer test I just committed: 
  hal/powerpc/mpc8xxx/current/tests/mpc8xxx_timer.c
It creates, attaches, etc, an interrupt during cyg_user_start()
and then tests that it works.  It does work fine, BTW.

How is this example different from what you are trying to do?

n.b. Please be more careful when replying to emails - it was difficult 
to determine what you quoted from my message and what you typed (in 
fact, had I not typed it myself, I would not have been able to tell)
