It loads it, sits there for 3-4 minutes with the interface blank, then the only error in the debug is emcTrajInit failed, can't initialize motion which it tries several times before shutting down.
Here's the output from the terminal:

Ha! I think you took simplification a bit too far
There are no active functions in your hal file
(no addf lines so nothing can actually happen)
edit
You could use a pncconf created hal file as an example of the needed addf lines

Good suggestion. I've reflashed to g540x2 and build a config in PNCConf, we'll see where that takes me. Thanks.

Ok, back to the firmware with G540 and 7i76 and it looks like everything is going together well.
I think the last hurdle to deal with for the time being is that I am getting consistent spikes up to 80k-90k nanoseconds, sometimes even 150k. I just got a spike of jitter up to 7,000,000 (7ns).
Servo period is 1000000 and watchdog is set to 50ms (which seems generous?).
This is a 5i25 connected to a Core 2 Duo machine running Stretch. It is a fresh install, nothing else going on. I'll go through and check any bios settings, but I've run other parport-based CNC software successfully off this machine for about seven years.
Any suggestions on other things I should check? If nothing else I'll just try another PC, this one has given me plenty of value as it is.

As usual, there's no solution that' can't be solved by more hardware. Set up a different PC, now I'm getting a jitter readings of 30k-50k on both threads. I'll take it and move on to getting this thing productive again.
