Thanks Mark. That's not it. I had already seen that in the release notes.

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:

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?

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.

I can't address the RTEMS question, but I doubt that the error is
related to the OS.
This error message occurs when the motor driver fails to establish
communication

with the motor controller at boot-up (iocInit). I suggest querying
the EPICS shell with;
dbior "<driver_name>"
where <driver_name> is; e.g., drvOms58, drvMM4000. You may get message

like the following,

dbior "drvOms58"

Driver: drvOms58
   No VME58 controllers configured.
value = 0 = 0x0
Hope this helps,
Ron

We're running several NSLS beamlines with 5.3 motor records under
RTEMS. I got the motor code from Bill Nolan, who might have gotten it

from Kate Feng. We'd like to upgrade our motor records, but I've
tried 6.1 and 6.3 and I get "motor_init_record_com(): card does not
exist!" errors. Is anyone using motor records beyond 5.3 under RTEMS?
