Now the question of the day is how the hell do we fix it?
If you need a shared partition between wheezy and stretch create
it in wheezy.
I recommend upgrading to wheezy-backports kernel.

Maybe I missed the point somewhere, but I was under the impression
that Gene wants to run linuxcnc on a production machine, and that
needs a realtime kernel. To be more prcise, linuxcnc 2.7 needs a rtai
patched kernel if you want decent latentcy, not the rtpreempt kernels
from debian. I have now two mills running on devuan ascii, both with
the old kernels from linuxcnc-wheezy 'cause of latency.

My last 2 or 3 emails seem to have fallen off the edge of the planet.
Anyway I have now swapped the drives around and used the bios boot menu
to select a boot from what is now sdB, and its working. Next is to use
this copy of gparted to reformat /dev/sdA and then see if a successful
install can be done. I'd say buy me a beer but that might royally screw
things up, so wish me luck (good that is) ;-) This will be about the
6th full install today. But before I reboot to do that, I'd better fix
us some din-din. Maybe someone will have a better idea by then?
