That's done and seems to be working. But seems to be reporting a similar error.

OK that looks right.

That is firmware for a 7I85 on P3 (the external DB25F connector)
and a 7I76 on P2 (the internal header) Is that how you have things
connected?

Yes, that's correct. It was working fine, up to the point I reinstalled Linux and Linuxcnc on a new SSD. I'm wondering if there's something in the INI or HAL files that isn't configured correctly for the new installation. I copied the folders over from the old SSD and initially it seemed to work OK.

Upload here the .hal and .ini files so we can have a look.

I wonder if the different RT used in this new install could be the issue (now Mint 20, was 19 previously)? Perhaps there is a reference to it somewhere in the ini or hal files although I've had a good look and can't see anything.

Dont know if this is the issue but you only have one serial port loaded in your hal

loadrt hm2_pci config=" num_encoders=4 num_pwmgens=0 num_stepgens=2 sserial_port_0=00xxxx"

Looks like it cant load the 5i25

After looking at the Mesaflash data, I would guess that there is a hardware issue on the 5I25/ PCI bus. Possibly a dirty slot or 5I25 pins or the card is not full inserted. (like you mentioned originally)

OK thanks for looking into this. I'll take it apart carefully and ensure it's all correctly assembled. I'll let you know what I find - once I've had a chance to get into this. Been a busy weekend on many fronts.
