Jim,
As you have probably worked out by now, your problems stem
from the fact that DBan erases everything on the hard drive
including the partition tables which are the index to the
'filing cabinet'. Your easiest way to get going again would
be to start by creating a new primary partition of a
Thanks Jeff, that helped.
Just in case anyone else tries this, a further make error then occurs:
hal/components/boss_plc.c:378: error: ‘NULL’ undeclared (first use in this
function)
This I cured by (re)defining "#define NULL 0" in hal.h (nasty hack).

This has now been fixed. After updating package lists again, the
firmware packages should be listed as available.

I'm in a sort of panic mode here, time's running and I have no G-code for my
parts. I got two Rhino files from a customer and I need to cut the parts in
three because my machine is too short. Then, I need to get some G-code from
that. Any suggestions or someone who can give me a hand? Specially wit

That was really my intention with the suggestion I made -
boot from a utility floppy and partition the hard drive so
that it won't wait around looking for partitions - plus, you
at least have the reassurance that you are doing something

has it yet been determined that the cd is in fact working and bootable?
I've seen people download the iso with winrar or a similar compression
program installed, see the icon and open and extract the files to a folder,
then burn the dir to a cd. autorun works, but no bootability.

Hi,
I'm trying to play with EMC2.3.0 but I've hit a snag... It's
installed on a computer which isn't connected to anything so
isn't causing any mayhem in the workshop but I can't get
started on running any simulated jobs because I can't home

When I fired up EMC2.3.0 with my previo
Hmm... where should I call? :)
I have the eval version of Rhino and it's possible to export as STEP.

The tower has booted!
Thank you for all of the replies. I read (but did not understand) all of
them. It seemed to make sense to me to focus on trying to boot with a
floppy because the DBAN floppy would boot every time. It took a long time
to find and then a couple of attempts to get hal91 to
fdisk -l Enter
displays the following:
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 1027.
This is larger than 1024, and may cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., LILO)
2) booting and paritioning software form other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

Jim,
Have you booted the CD in another computer? If not, you need to be
able to boot the CD. When you are able to boot the CD then the
installation process will identify the hard drive and partition it for
you. It will do an automatically generated configuration or you can do
a manual configurat

Hi Stuart,
All of the CD's that have been burned with my Windows desktop using
InfraRecorder will boot the desktop tower and run fine. Per one suggestion I
burned CD's at different speeds but this did not make a difference.

I have had a chance to play with my washing machine motor:

thermal alarms. The motor rotates as expected, but I think there is very
little back EMF, so the currents are
