RE: comedi_config yields device not configured..

When comedi_config is ran from shell as root it configures successfully and
./info works as well as the other demo programs.

Note that that echo will be done even if comedi_config failed.  It might 
be better to do

/usr/local/sbin/comedi_config /dev/comedi0 cb_pcidas64 0,14 && /bin/echo 
"Configured /dev/comedi0 to /dev/comedi0 for cb_pcidas64" || /bin/echo 
"Failed to configure /dev/comedi0 for cb_pcidas64"

(but all on one line)

Have a look at the output from "cat /proc/comedi" and see if there's 
anything there.

What happens if you just run the comedi_config command from a shell as root?
