Hmm, well, interesting, the LEDs are flashing wildly in a pseudorandomish-looking pattern. They're all flickering independently, not all on/all off. The 4th one (furthest from the ethernet port), that one looks like it's flickering off VERY briefly then back on once every 2 sec. "setp hm2_7i9

OK, we cloned the drive to an SSD off the Intel-based machine, now it's on an AMD64. It found the ethernet 7i92 card no problem. However, any attempt to move an axis throws a Joint Following Error immediately. So, it don't work. >uname -a Linux localhost 3.2.0-4-rt-686-pae #1 SMP PREEMPT RT

You might give Clonezilla a try. Burn it to a USB drive, Boot from that drive then generate an image on another USB, hard drive, or whatever. Checkout clonezilla.org for details. It can also work over a network, but the devil is in the details, as always. The resultant drive should be bootable
