Ralph,

If you look at the "Known Problems" from R5-4 to R5-9 on the motor
record web page;

http://www.aps.anl.gov/upd/people/sluiter/epics/motor/index.html

you will find the following;

   1. An undocumented change was made in R5-4 to two OMS setup
      functions. Namely, the unused 2nd argument ("axes per card") was
      eliminated from omsSetup() and oms58Setup().

In other words, the 2nd argument was eliminated. That is probably your problem.

Hi -

I'm moving a stepper motor application using an OMS VME58 card:
  from EPICS 3.13.9 / motor 4.9.3   to   EPICS 3.14.8.2 / motor 6.1

In the old setup everything works fine, in the new setup the driver claims that it doesn't find the VME58 motor card. Hardware settings are unchanged, the setup call in the st.cmd is the same.

Searching the release notes of the motor record I did not find anything that I found applicable to my problem.

Before I dig into the code: Is there anything obvious that I didn't see? Similar effects somewhere?
HW: vxWorks 5.4.2, mv2100, OMS VME58, test stand with no other VME cards.


Thanks a lot!
Ralph
