Any hint welcome if someone would point me towards the solution would be fine
thx thomas

Hi

Glad you are making progress.

i can build linuxcnc 2.5.2 but both together dont work
any hint what i did wrong ? Where does the 2.5.2 check the kernel versio n?

If you build a new rtai kernel, you must then build realtime (magma) against it, and then build linuxcnc against them both.

The error you had was because the linuxcnc build you used, was built against 2.6.24-16-rtai (the stock 8.04 kernel) and you were running a different kernel (the 2.6.30-rtai one?)

Either you are running the wrong kernel or are trying to access the wrong linuxcnc build

I don't know exactly what you have done, my original scripts etc built 2.5.1 as a RIP build in /usr/src/build
You would need to cd to /usr/src/build,
run . ./scripts/rip-environment from there
and then call linuxcnc to run the RIP build.

An update re the previous

I spoke to tkamsker off forum and hopefully his build is now sorted.

I have updated the build script to download and build linuxcnc-2.5.2 now

The key thing to grasp if you are installing my packages, is that they leave the original Live CD install of 8.04 with the 2.6.24-rtai kernel untouched, so that it will still run as previously

The linuxcnc 2.5.2 build is done as a Run In Place build to be run when using the 2.6.30-rtai kernel

If you are running the 2.6.24 kernel, just run linuxcnc from a terminal or the menu.

If you are running the 2.6.30 kernel, you must open a terminal
cd /usr/src/build,
. ./scripts/rip-environment from there
and then call linuxcnc from within that terminal session (not from the menu or another terminal)

regards

Update regards previous

Thomas has now succeeded in building a RIP versions and an installed user version of Linuxcnc on his NCBOX

One of the big stumbling points was that magma now appears to have changed with all the recent updates concentrating on the 3.5.7 kernel, in a way that has broken it for
the 2.6.30 kernel

Fortunately I had retained the compiled version of magma from my initial tests and he was able to install realtime using that.

Those files and a howto from Thomas are on my webpage along with the other downloads

The following Links not working on your download page.

README - General overview and instructions for process- - read and follow instructions first

stage1 - script to install kernel headers, images and modules and set up ready to boot new kernel

I'm a bit confused, where to start?

Robert

I changed servers, some of the links obviously got orphaned, I'll look at it later.

The first place to start is to install 8.04 Live CD onto a CF card and get that working. (see the early stages of the post)

The scripts etc are about replacing with a better rtai kernel and later linuxcnc, but you have to get it working with 8.04 first

Hi

I don't know what is wrong with the links, the other 2 files are at the same locations and work, those don't

Attached is a zip of the files, I will correct the links when I work out what is wrong

regards

Thanks ArcEye

The readme was whatI was needing, Gotta RTFM

Submicro

"( Set the installation to boot from the MBR of the CF card not hd0 or you will overwrite your machines MBR! )
/boot/grub/menu.lst edited to correct the root address"

Could you explain how you did this?


Never mind figured it out!

I'm getting stuck on stage2 I can't get my wifi adapter to work so it can't download necessary files! At least I think that's the problem???
When I type in the ./stage2 it spits out a bunch of complaints about unable to get certain files.

Any ideas on how to get my usb wifi adapter to work?
