Greetings all;
My GO704 box has decided it cannot find the RTLIB modules.
I have tried to export the path in both my own .basrc, and in
/etc/profile, but the only way to make it show up in an "env"
output is to export it from the command line of every terminal,
AND terminal window tab that I open. And even that does not help.
It simply cannot find hm2_pci.ko according to the messages it emits as
its cleaning up. It leaves this in the window that tries to run it:
=====================================

Looking in /var/cache/apt/archives and grepping it down to a sensible list, I
get this:

I've looked at /usr/bin/linuxcnc and that path is correctly specified
in that startup script. The module in question is there at that location,
along with about 100+ other.ko's. First encountered after I had added
a "loadrt estop_latch count=1", which did not error until it hit the
addf estop_latch.0 servo-thread
statement. Both are currently # commented out of the .hal file now.
I had this same problem 5 or 9 times on the older crashomatic box, just
one of the reasons I set it out the back door for disposal, after I
collect the good stuffs in it,but this is a Dell 745, with 4Gb of DDR-2
ram that passed 9 cycles of memtest86+ in an overnight run just 2 days ago.
With the old box, a full power down reboot would fix it, for several hours.
But that doesn't seem to fix this Dell. Its had 2 30 second plus
powerdowns since it first started doing it
I just took both lines out of the $CONFIG/$CONFIG.hal file, made zero
difference.
The old man is about beat. What do I look at next?
Its a 6 months old 2 terrabyte Seacrate drive, with about 60 hours on it
now, and very fast.
Humm, uname -a looks confused:
gene@GO704:~/linuxcnc/configs/GO704fast$ uname -a
Linux GO704 3.4-9-rtai-686-pae #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 3.4.55-4linuxcnc i686
GNU/Linux
WTF?
FWIW, sudo dmesg|less is also confused, lines 3 nd 4 look interesting:
[ 0.000000] Linux version 3.4-9-rtai-686-pae (Debian 3.4.55-4linuxcnc) () (gcc
version 4.6.3 (Debian 4.6.3-14) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 3.4.55-4linuxcnc
[ 0.000000] Disabled fast string operations
I have an enigma wrapped in a puzzle sort of a headache.
Ideas? Fixes? Geneaology references?
Thanks guys.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
