Ugh. This was a wild goose chase. After MUCH fiddling around, head scratching, and hair pulling we finally threw our hands in the air and punted. We 'stole' my dads Dell windows machine and put the hard drive of the linux machine in it. Fired right up. Ugh. So 'something' is up with the orig machine. It'll move axes fine in pncconf but linuxcnc won't start.
So sorry for the hassle Chris! Peter, we'll look into the kernel log but at the moment I just want to toss the thing out into the woods... I have some spare good machines at my house but didn't bring them to dad's house (where we're doing the work.) This is my brothers gantry router and he's a Linux guru so he just brought one of his old AMD machines (its still only a couple years old and pretty darn fast.) Oh well, live and learn. The GOOD news is its all up and running! So was fun spending time w my dad and brother working down in the shop getting everything going. Its a good family project. And now its time for some overdue bourbon or beer for everyone :) On Nov 23, 2012 12:59 PM, "Peter C.
