This afternoon Chris and I installed the ADC and DAC cards in fb4. We connected them to the timing card adapters (left external to the computer chassis for now).

We found fb4 to be running Debian 8 so first attempted to upgrade to 9, as that is the version supported by Jamie's cymac binaries. However, we encountered problems during the upgrade, apparently with gdm (the linux GUI). By switching to consol mode and killing gdm, were able to proceed to the point of updating all the packages. It completed successfully, but then the system failed to reboot, even in recovery mode. During boot, the advligo-rts kernel fails to start, and then boot hangs completely at the point the graphical interface is started.

We may want to start with a fresh install of Debian 9 and just reinstall the LIGO binaries.
