Thanks for the tip, will look into that.

Hi Sven,
Where are you located? What kind of milling machine were you
controlling with LinuxCNC? I am sort of meandering my way toward
setting up a domestic manufacturing cooperative and am contemplating
building a LinuxCNC control milling machine.We are also sort of
working our way
Can LinuxCNC be used instead of the original controller?

If the CNC control is GE, then the drives and likely GE also.
I know a guy who might have some parts and manuals for that control if you

thanks for the link. I've tried so many different way to compile
rtai, ie via debian's repository and downloading from original source
that I'm a bit lost right now.However it good to know that at
least someone else is running EMC on debian, so it's a doable task :)
Anyway, I just got the
from Ubuntu box.
I guess the next step is to buy the Mesa card.
thanks,

Is there a more up to date tutorial on how to compile rtai with
Debian.It took me a whole weekend to compile a kernel that will
boot but when I try the latency test, I get
insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/2.6.32-rtai/rtai/rtai_hal.ko':
-1 Invalid module format
ERROR: cannot load
I am also looking at mesa card for trying out EMC. The card I am looking at is,
5I25 + 7176 DAUGHTERCARD + CABLE PLUG-AND-GO KITS
It will be installed onto an old P4 IBM Intellistation 6229, 2Ghz, 1GB
ram, so I guess it's a 5125
Will it work? Will P4 be too slow? Just out of curiosity, where
Used cnc machines are so common and fairly inexpensive, retrofitting
with EMC doesn't make that much sense once you factor in the amount of
time it take to do a retofit. However, if a replacement machine cost
hundreds of thousands, or if you are doing 10 or 20 machines, then
retrofitting can
