This sounds odd Aram. I'm running the latest 2.5.4 on my lathe, with all the home switches common on one pin, and they are working fine. The syntax in the .hal file has changed, and I am using the new keywords, but I don't believe the old ones have been made invalid. Yet. Do you get any errors reported on the shell window you start linuxcnc -l on? They are usually pretty specific, showing the bad line in the file when they are reported. You can also use the hal_meter, under the "machine" tab, to follow the switches as they come in. With a printed copy of the .hal file in hand so you can see where they are "hooked up", you can use the meter to see where they might be getting lost.
