[etherlab-users] Master0 dead

[Lambert, Michel]

Hello,

I'm running Etherlab as part of Orchestra Control. Using the ec_e1000 driver under RTAI 2.6.32.20. Upon starting the EtherCAT master, I get the following:

Starting EtherCAT master 1.5.1  done

Here is the output of "/opt/etherlab/bin/ethercat master"

When I check for the init.d status, I get

Master0  dead

Any idea what could be the problem? I have two NICs and I double-checked, the correct one is being used.

Thanks,
JML
