Well, I kind of feel like an idiot now. I had installed Preempt_rt and checked with “uname -a” to verify that I was running preempt_rt. However, when I rebooted it didn’t boot into the preempt_rt kernel. So when I rebooted into the preempt_rt kernel linuxcnc would run normally.
I used Synaptic to remove the non-preempt_rt kernels to avoid the future problem. Linux alans-optiplex 5.10.0-19-rt-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_RT Debian 5.10.149-2 (2022-10-21) x86_64 GNU/Linux I am running a 5i25 / 7i76 pair of boards. Should that have the dpll in it? It doesn’t appear to have it. Is there a new version of the firmware that I could flash it with. Alan > From: "Peter C.
