We have a custom kinematics file for a 6-axis ABB IRB 2000 model that was compiled with no errors, and also altered .ini and .hal files installed but when we try running linuxcnc with this configuration it creates a problem with loaded realtime modules. This is running in a computer with Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS and realtime kernel 2.6.32-122-rtai, which has been working with no problems with other custom configurations and kinematics (LinuxCNC version 2.5.4). The config files are attached below.
Running linuxcnc with the command:
> linuxcnc abbirb.ini
we get the following log:
> LINUXCNC - 2.5.4
>Machine configuration directory is '/home/asea/Documents/Files/Source/build/configs/abbirb'
>Machine configuration file is 'abbirb.ini'
>Starting LinuxCNC...

We looked into the kernel modules and the module for abbirb.ko exists, but loading it manually with insmod doesn't seem to work and even though these errors occur, the module appears as loaded when we check with lsmod.
We have also tried to run linuxcnc after unloading the abbirb module with rmmod and the error is different, with the following line:
>insmod: error inserting '/usr/realtime-2.6.32.122-rtai/modules/rtai_hal.ko': -1 File exists
After this we tried building from scratch but the error persists. And yes, our version is very old but we also tried several times with the last build available for ubuntu with rtai but we couldn't get linuxcnc to work because of the package dependencies. So we decided to use the linuxcnc version that already works with other custom configurations. Please help.

When you are stuck with a bunch of loaded modules that depend on each other like this the only solution is to reboot.

So, what we need to see is the error messages (in dmesg) after trying to load the configuration from a fresh boot.
