Mesa 7i76E first try

Honestly,as nothing moved i quit pncconfig without going on with the other axis....
Well,tomorrow when i back from work (in a while i'll go to sleep) i'll try to complete the wizard procedure and see what happen....

Ok I did the full pncconf procedure and started Linuxcnc. But I got an error message (see attacheg log.txt).
As I understand, I've an issue with Preempt-RT kernel (so as I found on other post in the forum).
If I'm right, I've installed Linuxcnc Debian Wheezy, so I tried to follow the steps found on Linuxcnc website to install Preempt-RT kernel.
But this time the system tells me there's nothing to update.

Well, don't know what to do now....

You need the Stretch version of LinuxCNC for Mesa ethernet boards.
Get it in the downloads section of the main Linuxcnc page.
linuxcnc.org/downloads/

Did you select "Custom" for the stepper? I'm pretty sure it won't allow value changes, or at least only a very limited range, unless custom is selected.

Just started downloading the Stretch version.
Reading the specifics, it says:
"This is compatible with Mesa PCI and PCIe and Pico interface boards but is not compatible with Mesa Ethernet interface boards"

The 7i76E (my board) is an Ethernet device. Any chance it won't work (but I think it referres to debian7, while the stretch should be 9)? BTW, doing a try is not a problem. I'm waiting for a new SSD to install the strecth versione, then see what happens...

Yep, custom was selected. Nevertheless, the max value allowed is 5000 (even putting higher values, it automatically reduces to 5000....)

You could change that value in your INI file manually, right after running and completing the pncconf.

I'm running stretch (debian 9) with a Mesa ethernet board, you should be okay there.
