The machine is an HP Pavilion Desktop that I have added a PCIE parallel port card to. It is an AMD Phenom 9550 Quad Core 2.2Ghz processor with 6 GB of RAM. For clarification the way I tested the 8.04 Live CD was to boot from the CD and then generate a new EMC configuration file. This seems to work just fine. When I boot the 10.04 CD EMC Crashes when I try to run the new configuration that I make. The configuration is the same as I use in my 8.04 test. Under the 10.04 live environment the 'latency-test' runs but no times come up (i.e. all '0'). Just as an experiment I tried to disable some of the Ubuntu boot options. If I use the 'acpi=off' boot option the 'latency-test' will run and populate the times as is should, but my ps/2 mouse no longer works. If I pull that mouse off and use a USB mouse everything works fine. I have installed the 10.04 live CD on the system and added 'acpi=off' to the grub file and I now have a functioning setup. I'm not sure what the relationship is between RTAI and the ACPI subsystems. If anyone has experience with this I would be happy to have an explanation.
Thanks for all the prompt responses to my questions. marc foster On Fri, Sep 30, 2011 at 12:30 AM, Sebastian Kuzminsky <s...@highlab.com>wrote: > On 09/29/2011 09:26 PM, marc foster wrote: > >> I have a recently upgraded to a new PC for my EMC installation and I am >> having difficulty getting EMC to run on the 10.04 Live CD.

Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes sense of it. IT sense.
