John,

There was a change in the oms58Setup command some time ago.  Here is a
diff of my st.cmd file from one I used previously

########################################################################
########
 # Setup device/driver support addresses, interrupt vectors, etc.

-# OMS VME58 driver setup parameters: 
-#     (1)cards, (2)axis per card, (3)base address(short, 4k boundary), 
-#     (4)interrupt vector (0=disable or  64 - 255), (5)interrupt level
(1 - 6),
-#     (6)motor task polling rate (min=1Hz,max=60Hz)
-oms58Setup(8, 8, 0x4000, 190, 5, 10)
+# OMS VME58 driver setup parameters:
+#     (1)cards, (2)base address(short, 4k boundary),
+#     (3)interrupt vector (0=disable or  64 - 255), (4)interrupt level
(1 - 6),
+#     (5)motor task polling rate (min=1Hz,max=60Hz)
+oms58Setup(10, 0x4000, 190, 5, 10)

Note that the second argument used to be axis per card, but it is now
the base address.  So perhaps you are simply using the wrong syntax?

Mark

Subject: Re: latest motor record on RTEMS?

I get the following. I've tried an mvme2307 and mvme5500 with the same 
results.

dbior drvOms58
Driver: drvOms58
    Oms Vme58 motor card #0 not found.
