Linuxcnc terminated with an error!

Nothing to do.....
Now i try to install the old last emc2 distribution, and the program run but now the pci controller is disable:
0000:03:00.0 Communications controller: NetMos Technology PCI 1 port parallel adapter (rev 01)
Subsystem: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic: Unknow device 0010
Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 10
I/O ports at 1010 [disabled]
I/O ports at 1018 [disabled]
I/O ...

Any idea?

Probably an old card

See wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?NetMos

Kernel driver in use: parport_pc
Kernel modules: parport_pc

Just another thought.

parport_pc should not have been loaded in your earlier tests, you may need to go into /etc/modprobe.d/linuxcnc.conf and uncomment the line
install parport_pc /bin/true
which blocks the loading of that module because it clashes with hal_parport.

It would be worth checking /etc/modules and make sure there is not a line
lp
because that will load lp, ppdev and parport_pc and is the normal setting for a system with a printer, which you don't need.

However, you will see that the use of parport_pc (and lp and ppdev which are deps) is necessary to get some old MosChip (NetMOS) parallel port cards to work, by loading the modules so that the ports and registers are enabled and then unloading them so that hal_parport can access the port(s)

lspci -vv (2 v's) should give the parport card chip number
If it is 9805 or 9815 you might want to consider getting a newer card, those chips are well flaky and have caused no end of problems.

It works! You are a wizard!
Befor start EMC2 i send this commands:

sudo /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.6.15-magma/kernel/drivers/parport/parport_pc.ko
sudo /sbin/rmmod ppdev
sudo /sbin/rmmod lp
sudo /sbin/rmmod parport_pc

Molte grazie!

Hi,
I have made many other experiments:
I bought a pad for my notebook, so now I can use the integrated parallel card. Now the Ubuntu 8.04 liveCD works perfectly without other settings
But with Ubuntu 10.04 liveCD I always have the same problem as before, so the problem is not in the parallel card

Hi again

There is something about the ini file in your config it does not like

/usr/bin/linuxcnc: line 381: 1651 Killed $EMCTASK -ini "$INIFILE"

I assume you do not have the NML_FILE = emc.nml line uncommented?

Have you tried running a sim, like axis_mm?

This configuration worked on my test machine, so it is hard to know why it won't on yours.
If 8.04 works I would just stay with that, it is the Linuxcnc version that matters not the Ubuntu one.

regards

No, there is no line NML_FILE = emc.nml in my ini file.
I tried with axis_mm but the result is the same.
Ciao

The weird thing is that I don't get that error and the tooltable is just the default minimal one that stepconf makes I think
