Problems with PREMPT_RT kernel error and 7i76e

I've updated the first post. I've tried another fresh install, but PNCconf and the Hal Meter do not work with PREMT-RT and my 7i76e.

halmeter works fine for me, what problem do you have?

When you say calibrate does not work, can you explain what you mean?
you do need to press test (to update the actual hardware value)
and refresh (to update the input text box to the current value)

I have seen problems with calibrate saving changes back to the ini file if some ini fields are missing
what error message do you get when you try to save the calibrate?

I updated the first post describing the problems I'm having.

PNCconf, the "calibration" screen, and Hal Meter are not working correctly. If these screens work for you, it makes me think something is wrong with my install of Wheezy or something.

My latest issue is verifying my home switches. They do not change state in Hal Meter, but I've verified they change state electrically at the 7i76e card. I don't think they are recognized in AXIS, because I can select the HOME button, push the home switch while the axis is moving and it does not stop.

one thing at a time

When you say calibrate does not work, what do you mean?

The calibrate screen won't allow me to test the tune of any axis and it won't allow me to save any changes to the INI file.

Are you saying it does not show step timings?
or that you can not edit the fields?
or that the test button does not update the hardware?
or that the refresh button does not show the updated values?
