Hello,<br><br>I have problems running etherlab on my machine.<br>Im running a small configured Ubuntu 9.04 server with a patched Linux Kernel 2.6.28.7 running the actual rtai cvs version.<br>Using the internal realtech chip 8139 for ethercat and a seperate intel chip for ethernet access.<br>
<br>Ethercat works well, but when starting the etherlab script (init.d), i get a segmentation fault and I can't unload the module rt_appcore anymore.<br>See here:<br>root@master:/etc/init.d# ./etherlab start<br>Starting EtherLab AppCore./etherlab: line 45: 3020 Segmentation fault insmod $MODULE_PATH<br>
