Bit of an update. I'm still stuck in the same issue. I re-flashed my BBB 
with the latest image:

    bone-debian-9.4-machinekit-armhf-2018-03-25-4gb

And I get the same problem. Either it can't insmod because it lacks 
permission, or if I run as root, I get:

Creating machinekit directory

MACHINEKIT - 0.1

Machine configuration directory is 
'/usr/share/linuxcnc/examples/sample-configs/pru-examples'

Machine configuration file is 'pru-stepper.ini'

Starting Machinekit...

/usr/libexec/linuxcnc/rtapi_msgd: FATAL - will not run as root
