I insmod the rtai_smi.ko module but I am still getting that ~64sec latency spiking.lax max is usually less than 10K but spikes to 160k. I noticed for some reason I noticed rtai_sched.ko was not loaded and cannot be load when rtai_lxrt is loaded. Is the problem with the rtai_lxrt/rtai_sched co

Once I got RTAI module compiled and working on Debian, installing LinuxCNC was a lot easier. After banging my head on the wall for the last couple days, I finally downloaded the LinuxCNC LiveCD. It install and runs fine. Though the odd thing is, I can run linuxcnc latency-test, I can't run rtai
