motors enable in stepconfig but not in axis

Hi all,
I have viewed several answers to this question, but none have been of any help so far.
I recently downloaded the latest live cd and installed it. Debian linuxcnc 2.7.
I looked at the signals on hal and everything looks ok.
I tried inverting the signal on Amp enable but when I do that the motors turn off when using stepconfig.

Spindle does not work either, unless I invert the signal, but then it runs all the time, and axis does not stop or start it.
Do I need to do something with Hal? Has anything changed from 2.6?

I am using the same pc and everything else is the same. Only change is the latest linuxcnc.
Anyone have somewhere for me to start looking?
Thank you
Owen

All going now..must have been a bad install, downloaded the software and reinstalled.
all going properly now.
