Attempting to run this mornings 2.5.3 update, I get a requester to please reboot to the 2.6.32-rtai kernel: [copy/paste] gene@coyote:~/Download$ linuxcnc LinuxCNC requires the real-time kernel 2.6.32-122-rtai to run. Before running LinuxCNC, reboot and choose this kernel at the boot menu. I don't normally run that kernel because its memory handling under my usual load has me into swap by 500megs to a gigabyte by the time its up 24 hours. I have been up with this 3.13.6 kernel, pae enabled, for 15d 17h, and swap has not been touched. Actual memory used according to htop is under 2.2Gigs right now. The non-pae, rtai kernel only sees about 3G of my ram. That rtai kernel runs great on my atom boards on the real machines, but fails miserably as a do it all kernel for this machine.
