[etherlab-users] "Invalid mailbox configuration", how to configure?

[Stefan Löfgren]

Hi all!

Background:
I've got an i386 with rtl8139. Kernel 2.6.13 + RTAI + EtherCAT master.
(downloaded from the site). The master-module and ec_8139too is running
and I can see activity on the bus.
I can also read the info in "/sys/ethercat/master0" and
"/sys/ethercat/master0/slave000". Everything seems fine so far...
The slave is a KEB servo-drive capable of CoE.

But, trying to use the "mini"-examlpe I getting:
Mar 13 15:31:46 lablinux kernel: EtherCAT ERROR: Failed to set PREOP state,
slave 0 refused state change (INIT + ERROR).
Mar 13 15:31:46 lablinux kernel: EtherCAT ERROR: AL status message 0x0016:
"Invalid mailbox configuration".

Now, the question:
"How do I configure the mailbox?" (or even more simplified "what's wrong?" ;))

The output from "/sys/ethercat/master0/slave00/info" is:
Name:
