It will run any GUI except Axis... I think it is a tkinter issue.

tjmarch. thanks.
my errors (once I get into Mint) are the same as JT's.
i did not modify any boot/grub parameters. I have looked at them, but made no changes.
the error in booting is the main problem I would like to solve first.
I may try your method, though.

used the SySsetup.sh last night and it installed a lot of things ( did not follow what since i was watching NCIS ), after it finished (with some errors) just opened synaptic and added the 2.7rt repo, updated, installed Linuxcnc and dev and docs without a hitch ( the actual rt kernel was installed by this, not by the script i think), did a reboot chose the rt version and it started perfectly and ...............no luck with Axis, gmoccapy works like a charm.
This was on a mint 17.2 rafaella.
Regards,
Tom
P.S.
this is an actual install on a 32GB usb stick, not just a bootable usb.

Ok, I finally understand more about what I don't know about it.
Do a git checkout of your favorite branch.
Build a RIP.
Run Axis.
Now to figure out how to build a deb from the rip.

just installed a new RIP version ans compiled it.
looks like everything is running ok.
My next step is try to install a Preempt-RT kernel (if exists? ), compile again and see if works.
If everything is ok, I will install it in a real machine a use with mesa Ethernet cards. (and try to forget Debian wheezy
)
