Problems with EMC 2.4.6, 2.3.5 is working

Hello

I have ubuntu 8.04 with EMC2.3.5 from the live CD running nicely on my thinkpad t40.
The 10.04 Live CD is not working and after searching around for some hours (this is my first linux computer...)
I found out that the 2.4 is not working on my computer. With or without rtai_smi, even 2.4.0 is starting with the following error.
Does anyone have an idea how to get this problem solved?
many thanks in advance.
