What Rtai Kernel needed?

Hi,
I was not able to install LinuxCNC 2.6 Debian on my pc, so I have install Ubuntu 12.04 and then LinuxCNC 2.6. Then I install the rtai pae kernel. When boot in rtai mode the pc will not work. Maybe the pc is not able to work in pae mode. Is there an rtai kernel available without pae?

Thanks

Hans

Try the LinuxCNC 2.5 LiveCD with Ubuntu 10.04. You can upgrade to 2.7 after that. If you have older hardware you need older operating system.

Hi BigJohnT,
I do so but its failed, when updating to 2.6 the software does not work with the old rtai kernel.

Thanks

What makes you think the kernel is bad?

You can upgrade from 2.5 to 2.7 without changing any kernels if you follow the upgrade instructions on the wiki.

Hi,
another question. Does someone know why the livecds uses now Debian and not Ubuntu?

Thanks

Hans

Did I solve the first issue yet?

Debian was chosen for some good reason and I'm glad Ubuntu 12.04 really looked like a tablet interface to me.
