Crap. Oddly enough, I didn't have that error pop up when I reflashed the USB drive.

Anyways, install is a success with your new ISO as well. I got latency no lower than like 60 us with the preempt-rt kernel, so I installed the iso that was packaged with RTAI/2.8 and got numbers no higher than 15 us. So far, so good....

I usually use dd or USB Imager Writer on Linux or win32DiskImager for windows, never ever had any issues with it, one of those utilities that is simple and works.

So the UEFI one was ok ?
I haven't had much time to test it except on a Virtual machine.

You may get better latency using the XFCE desktop, the RT_PREEMPT is good for Mesa Ethernet and the RTAI good for PP.

I had so much trouble with booting form USB that I bought a £20 USB DVD drive.
As a side effect I am amassing a library of historical LinuxCNC boot discs, which are actually occasionally useful.

I wont mention my archive of Slackware going all the way back to the first release, ubuntu to version 4.10 (all ISO's on the server) and the pile of Puppy Linux discs when I was helping to get wifi working.....And a bunch of RedHat before it went Fedora. And the even sadder thing is I have hardware that was available when those early ones were released.
Anyways I'm off back to mum's basement to trim my beard and drink pepsi.

486sx Compaq laptop. When I still had Dial up I was using it as a router/firewall.
Toshiba 100MHz laptop
Some P2 & P3 Dell laptops
Some random P2 & P3 & P4 & Core 2 desktops I've found on the road.
A HP Laser Jet 4 that I found on the road.

And one of these from about 1984, yes with new batteries it still works.


And building one of these from a magazine series from the early 80's


And I'm collecting the bits & pieces to build a Cosmac Elf from the 70's.
Yeah I'm a nerd.

And to prove I'm truly mad and should be locked up I'm building (almost) a Myford lathe from parts bought off ebay or online retailers. Bed is a 1953 ML7 that is still within spec, no marking to indicate it has been reground, the rest is basically S7 bits. A part from some new hardware bits the only new bits are the 3 phase motor & inverter. Once the chip tray for the mill is finished I can the conversion to a stepper drive ballscrew for the lead screw.
