Linuxcnc 2.4.5 with Ubuntu 10.04 , Terminated with Error!

Hello , Newb here. Just bought 2 , very nice Bridgeport and Jet mill retrofits , with Microkentics Steppers and PICO Universal Stepper cards , from the estate of a friend. Machines are very nicely built.
They sat idle since 2013, the Cmos batteries were dead . Ive been working on the .ini file of the Jet mill , to correct the homing sequence.
Everything was great , fixed the Z Axis homing . Powered down the control to plug the A axis in . Now on power up , it will not load Linuxcnc 2.4.5.
Is there a way to decode the error message , to see what i need to change, to return functionality ?
   The computers are bare bones machines, no network capabilities , just USB.  
             Where can I look , or were do I Start ? 

Post the error logs here so we can have a look.
Especially the Debug part...

That's a pretty ancient LinuxCNC version, but getting it going as it used to work as a first step makes sense prior to any attempts to update.

The Pico USC is still supported as far as I know.

If you post questions in the driver-boards section there is a fair chance that the manufacturer will see them.

Great ! i have to figure out how to load the error files to a USB Stick .
The builder was a bit of a Conspiracy theorist... he had everything locked down.

Thank You Andy, Im sure it was my fault, just to old and Technologically inferior to comprehend.

Just so you know I run Ubuntu 10.04 on my CHNC lathe with no issues and no reason to upgrade. Oh and I'm running LinuxCNC 2.7.15.

Posting the actual error message would help.

It's not ideal, but we can work with photos of the error log on the screen. 

Were are the error files located ? var/ Error ? This ubuntu is very unfamiliar to me .

 
This is the .ini that I modified while working on the Z Axis Homing . 

[TRAJ} Axis X Axis Y Delete .ini from those lines.
