EMC2 Error help

This is my first CNC build, first try with Linux, first try with EMC2.
My machine is completely built except for the router mounts and I thought I could get the pc going before all the parts came in.
I'm really inexperienced and really striking out at the moment

I'm not sure where to go from here. I have read so much information here i'm in overload condition, head spinning.....

I have 4 Keling KL4030 drivers and steppers, 2 X axis R&P drives, 1 Y axis R&P drives, 1 lead screw Z axis
C10 BoB and 24v power supply, everything wired according to diagrams. Second X axis direction inverted.
PC is an INTEL D945GLCF w/2GB ram, Atom processor and the MAX Jitter is 13945 on Latency Test
I think I have all setting correct in Stepconf but can't get motors to spin in Test Axis

I am guessing that I have a LPT problem but am not sure how to use Linux well enough test the LPT port.
Lots of do this and do that but no specific instructions HOW to do. It seems there is an assumed level of
proficiency with Linux which I am not blessed with at this time.


Here is the debug info when I start EMC2:

There is a breaking point

I need more informations

try to test the basic config "stepper xyza"
and before remember to change in it the correct address for your the LPT

This is a my listing if it's ok.

[17366.907075] RTAI[math]: loaded.
[17366.956712] config string '0x0378'
[17369.543423] RTAI[math]: unloaded.

So, I think it is bad to set the parallel port address (LPT)

Ok,
When I get back to the shop this evening I'll get more info posted.
I'm not sure how to tell if EMC2 or Ubuntu has control of the LPT port, is there a system profiler in Ubuntu?
Or can I see this info from a terminal session?

To check your port address..
Open a terminal and type
lspci -v
You should see your port address listed there.

It's been a crazy week. I got the chance last night to work on it again and ironed out my parallel port problem by installing a new port card. I had to invert all of the pins in Stepconf and bingo, I jogged motors for the first time. I never thought such a small thing would be so exciting. I am still having issues getting EMC2 to start up but it stops now when the halui tries to load. I am going to the shop today so I'll post the ini and hal files. Is there any other info I need to post?

Yes that's the name I gave the router. It's my company name. Stands for Interactive Music Audio Visual.
I plan to make custom speakers, racks, studio desks, mounting brackets, etc. with the router.
