Mesa 6i25 not working?

Hi Sirop,

Thank you for that information.

But as the 5i25 works like a charm out of the box I am not willing to fiddling around more time with the 6i25.

PCW mentioned something similar, and my thoughts were that there is an bios setting not right. The mainbord is a fujitsu www.fujitsu.com/de/products/computing/pe...inboards/d3231s.html mainbord. Bios was the most recent version and set to default settings.

But still in the phase to get comfortable with linuxcnc and linux and the mesa cards. So more faults can accounted upon me than the system.

could you provide outputs from below commands on a freshly started pc that doesn't work with 6i25? I'll fix mesaflash.
Also if you have linuxcnc updates from synaptic you should have latest mesaflash package available there too.

Hello Michael,

here are the dmesg and lspci outputs from the freshly bootet machine with default bios settings.

After the time i flashed the 6i25 in my other comp there was an automatic system update. But I only remember something about the kernels. Synaptic tells me i am using mesaflash 3.2.0.

Ok, that's the current version of mesaflash.
I think it's 32 bit vs 64 bit problem. For now use mesaflash with 32 bit kernels.
I'll check and fix x64 soon.

Hi Micges,

Flashing the 6i25 was done with the linuxcnc live cd. It is the 2.7 wheezy linuxcnc I have used.
As far as i know that version is 32bit. FYI.

Hi,

Hi micges thank you once more for your time you have spend with me figuring out the 6i25 is working now....


THE 6i25 IS WORKING NOW!

First I thought it was due to a System update where new kernels where installed.
But now I figured out it is related on how the Installation of Linux was done.
Installing with UEFI Bios --> 6i25 not working.
Installing with Legacy Bios --> 6i25 is working.

This was selectable on bootmenue of my Mainboard, but first not recognized by me.

For now everything is ok on my System.
