I have been trying to get EMC running with no luck.
I am having the exact same problem Tim Goldstien had way back in May
when
he was first setting up. He was able to solve his by changing a wrong
memory address in the script file. I have not had the same luck.
The above quotes here are from Tim and Matt a long time ago.

My computer has 48 meg of ram and parallel port at 378h, cyrix 6x86
P-150+

my lilo conf file

boot=dev/sda
map=boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
image=/boot/vmlinuz-1
label=rtlinux
root=/dev/sda6
read-only
append="mem=47m"
image/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.36-0.7
label=linux-2.0.36-0.7
root/dev/sda6
read-only




run lilo and get rtlinux and linux 2.0.36-0.7 added

I can run the frank zappa program



This is what I do

1)boot computer

2)login

3)startx

4)run "lsmod" - no modules running

5)run "insmod -v /usr/src/rtl/modules/rtl_sched" - no error messages

6)run "lsmod" - returns "rtl_sched"

7)run "insmod -v /usr/local/nist/emc/plat/rtlinux_09J/lib/steppermod.o
SHMEM_BASE_ADDRESS=0x2F00000 PARAPORT_IO_ADDRESS=0x378" - I get error
message "segmentation fault" (I am using 0x2F00000 for 48meg, is this
correct?)

8)run "lsmod" - I see rtl_sched (steppermod) and steppermod
(uninitialized)

9)run "rmmod steppermod" - returns "device or resource busy"

10)rub "rmmod rtl_sched" - returns "rtl_sched is in use"

11)must reboot to remove any modules

What next??
