I did see that, but you can not run a machine on a generic kernel, it must have RT or RTAI kernel for machine use.
If you see my above discussion in this thread only, I was using 2.8.1 in Ubuntu with generic kernel and everything was running well except limit switch.

Oh, so it looks like you need to upgrade to version 2.9 for your board to work.
Instructions on how to upgrade are here:

Your repsitories will be:
[edit]
To use the mesa files you would need to download the linuxcnc source code and copy those files into the source folder and then you would need to build linuxcnc directly on your machine. While certainly possible for a linux newcommer it usually requires a fair bit of will power to get all the required dependencies installed. But after you master that you can do pretty much anything.

newmesa.zip is obsolete, you should be fine with 2.8.1
