OK, we cloned the drive to an SSD off the Intel-based machine, now it's on an AMD64.
It found the ethernet 7i92 card no problem. However, any attempt to move an axis throws a Joint Following Error immediately. So, it don't work. >uname -a Linux localhost 3.2.0-4-rt-686-pae #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Debian 3.2.78-1 i686 GNU/Linux Ran a latency test, found the number was surprisingly high: servo 1ms interval 1056515 jitter 58515 base interval 82973 jitter 57973 What concerns me is the i686 installation on an AMD64 machine. Does that need to be changed?
