No Seb, it was a typu, home-sw.in shoulda been home-sw-in, My bad , but its murphy's law that you can't see your own typo's till you post about them. :-\ In between rebooting the box with the power switch about every 4th time I quit gedit, or about every other time linuxcnc -l either fails or or I quit it, I am making progress this morning. About 1.5 seconds later after quitting something, boom, black screen lockup. It even does it on this machine IF I'm running the RTAI kernel. So its not a feature of the atom boards, its something in the rtai kernels cleanup the crap area. Gets old, damned old. I am waiting with baited breath for the next kernel that can run this stuff. Maybe, just maybe, it might be more stable... Or am I the only one seeing this?, and I'm seeing it on 3 differently equipt machines. 2 atom boards and this quad core phenom. Maybe I can get it to load and home yet today. But I'm enjoying the weather this morning, its cooled some after giving us 2.5" of badly needed rain last evening, at times right straight out of that famous boot. Unforch, that comes with water in the basement about 1/8" deep, 2 dehumidifiers are working overtime. Thanks Seb.
