LinuxCNC on Linux Mint 19

JT

Do your instructions for linxcnc on LM19.1 include support for mesa cards (hostmot2) ?

Thanks
Ron

Yes after installing Linux Mint you build the RT Preempt kernel then you add LinuxCNC and if your using a Mesa Ethernet card there are instructions to setup the NIC for that.

hi BigJohnT
I followed your instructions and the kernel was build without any errors.
but it dose not boot in to it
if I select the recovery option in grub menu it hangs included a photo of it
I tried to do a fresh install again and same result
what is going wrong here?
the computer got core duo 2 processor and runs 64 mint 19

I'm no expert at PC's but I think a core duo 2 is a bit old for modern OS's using 64 bit.

I don't understand your question, hostmot2 is part of LinuxCNC. The instructions cover installing or building the Rt Preempt kernel, installing or building LinuxCNC and setting up the PC to use Mesa Ethernet cards. PCI and PCIe cards work after installing LinuxCNC.

Instead of watching this thread for information just wander over to my tutorial page for full instructions.
