Rolf came to the 40m today and managed to figure out what the problem is. Reading just dmesg was not enough to solve the problem. Useful log was in

>> cat /opt/rtcds/caltech/c1/target/c1x03/c1x03epics/iocC1.log

Starting iocInit
The CA server's beacon address list was empty after initialization?
iocRun: All initialization complete
sh: iniChk.pl: command not found
Failed to load DAQ configuration file

iniChk.pl checks the .ini file of the model.

>> cat /opt/rtcds/rtscore/release/src/drv/param.c

int loadDaqConfigFile(DAQ_INFO_BLOCK *info, char *site, char *ifo, char *sys)
{

  strcpy(perlCommand, "iniChk.pl ");
  .........
  strcat(perlCommand, fname); // fname - name of the .ini file
  ..........
}

So the problem was not in the C1X03.ini. The code could not find the perl script though it was in the /opt/rtcds/caltech/c1/scripts directory. Some environment variables are not set. Rolf added /opt/rtcds/caltech/c1/scripts/ to $PATH variable and c1ioo models (x03, ioo, gcv) started successfully. He is not sure whether this is a right way or not, because other machines also do not have "scripts" directory in their PATH variable.

Rolf mentioned about automatic set up of variables - kiis of smth like that - probably that script is not working correctly. Rolf will add this problem to his list.
