HI Jon,
So, I noticed when linuxcnc fails to launch, it states this in the Kernel
message information:
PPMC: ERROR: no boards found on bus 0, port 0378.
I thought that was curious since I have never specified the port in the linux
config files that I knew of. Is there somewhere I need to specify the port for
LinuxCNC?

I couldn't figure out how to copy the text from the LinuxCNC window, so here is
an image of it. You can see that it states port 0378:

Could that be part of the problem?
Here is the dmesg:

18
