I don't understand your question.

Are you looking to do something other than install the LiveCD?

It will be probably pretty hard to do, but here are some instructions:

You need to build a RTAI patched kernel:
wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?Debian_Lenny_Compile_RTAI

Only after that works, you can attempt to compile emc2 as described here:
wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?Debian_Lenny_Compile_EMC2

Regards,
Alex

PS: I don't think you can expect to find some support for this though.

Hello everybody, i've tried to install rtai and emc on debian too (lenny version), but i have problems after i install the rtai patch, when i restart and choose the rtai kernel i can't start the x-server, and if choose the old kernel the x-server works perfectly... so i was wondering if anyone has installed it on debian succesfully because i don't know why the new kernel has that error.
Thanks in advance for your help :)

It is much simpler to install EMC using the LiveCD. You can also try EMC without installing it from the LiveCD.
The instructions are here:
www.linuxcnc.org/content/view/21/4/lang,en/
and here:
www.linuxcnc.org/docview/html//common_Getting_EMC.html

Thanks for your answer John, but i've already tried with the ubuntu live cds, the matter is that i have two little problems with ubuntu, the first one is that when i boot with the hardy live cd without installing the system i can create shortcuts in desktop for my machine configuration, but when i install it on the hard drive i can not make shortcuts anymore, i didn't want to ask about this because it wasn't a relevant problem, but that's one reason of why i'm trying to use another distribution of linux, and the other problem with ubuntu is that when i use ubuntu hardy with the rtai kernel, i can only shutdown the system when i press the button on my pc, otherwise the computer never shutdown, this only happens when i use a rtai patched kernel.
That's why i was trying to install emc on other distributions, but the problem with debian was.. that when i installed the rtai patch i couldn't start the x server, but if a reboot and i choose the normal kernel the x server works perfect.
Anyway thanks for your concern, everybody in the emc team is always helping me and the other people, so i'm very thanked with you.
I hope to solve the problem, but in the meantime, i will use emc with ubuntu, since the problems don't affect the performance of the emc.

Thanks again for your help.

Leonardo.

That is partly intentional. To provide the best RT performance our (and probably all RTAI-patched kernels) kernel has ACPI disabled. ACPI has a lot of different functions, most of which interfere with RT performance (for example: power management, CPU power down, CPU frequency scaling, etc).
ACPI also takes care of powering down the system after a shutdown has been started, and that's why you need to push the power button to completely turn it off.
That will probably be true on any platform/kernel patched with RTAI.
Of course you can build a kernel which doesn't have ACPI switched off, but then you're on your own if it works or not (talking about RT performance).

Regards,
Alex
