My Grizzly G0602 Lathe

Mint is based on Ubuntu, and Ubuntu is based on Debian, so most debian stuff works on both of them without issues, but i did bump into some that cause issues, namely the newest 5.0.9 RT kernel will have issues with WiFi and is polite to tell it will not work and stop the installation.
The best solution is to use the non-free version of Debian for dev as everything stays the same as the official release regarding tutorials and howto's.

Care to share that 19.3 iso?

I could not see Debian was an option because I need to compile and install a network driver and Debian would not let you continue an install without a network connection. I installed Mint 19.3 and compiled the Linux PREEMPT_RT kernel last night by following BigJohnT's method gnipsel.com/linuxcnc/uspace/linuxmint19-rt.html
I modified it to account for the different kernel between MInt 19.1 and 19.3
It refused to boot becasue of a missing EFI_MEMMAP. I am hoping I found the solution to this error otherwise I am going to lean Mr BeagleBrainz for help.... he seems to know a bit about UEFI.

I will say compiling the kernel is pretty easy. I've done it quite a few times. You just need to run the make command overnight as it can take a long time. Also adding the -j8 command speeds things up considerably by compiling up to 8 files at a time.. Big John does not mention this

I'd like to solve this so I have control over the whole process.

So these are the parts I have acquired so far.
I ran into a small problem with the new spindle drive motor but nothing I can't handle.

is actually the number of parallel operations not the number of simultaneous "files".... and the -j switch must correspond to your number of processors your hardware has.... -j8 would be for an 8 core processor....

you should run

(number of processors)

before "make -j8"

or the cover all syntax would be

that way it will always run the right number of parallel operations for your specific hardware (should you be lucky enough to have a 24 core processor....)
or like me a 2 core...

perhaps this will help.
