There are a lot of changes in 2.9, hence the conversion program. There is a wiki page that describes the differences - http://linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/getting-started/updating-linuxcnc.html
I had to make a few manual changes to get my lathe config to work. From memory, there is confusion with the lathe axis lettering. There is a section on that page that discusses lathe issues. -----Original Message----- From: Thomas D.
