Hi
First let me say that I am very much a newbie at Linux.
Second I have tried registering at LinuxCNC.org with no luck whatsoever. Tried 
any number of times and it simply returns to the same entry screen. Is a 
decoder ring needed?

Now for the real issue. I have installed from the latest Live CD 2.5.1. 
Everything seems to go as advertised. When I run the Latency test with an 
otherwise idle system the Jitter is under 10,000 for about 5-10 minutes and 
suddenly jumps to 300,000. After I read some of the documentation
I assume that I am running into the SMI problem.  
After banging my head on the desk for awhile I figured that I needed to use 
"gksudo gedit" to edit the two lines in "rtapi.conf". Have more than double 
checked to make sure that this is exactly as per the Wiki FixingSMIIssues.
Now the Latency test does not run. No visible indications of any kind.
I have checked with "$ lsmod | grep rtai"  and I can see that the rtai_smi 
module is NOT loaded....
When I remove the two modifications the Latency test runs and will again climb 
to 300K+ after a few minutes.

Any help/suggestions will be appreciated

Tony
