There is an Open Source forum here that will be a better place to get help with LinuxCNC issues.
First question is do the motors "thump" when power is applied? If no, the proper settings in your software probably aren't correct yet or there is a wiring problem. If they thump but don't respond to manual jog commands then the motors are getting power but other settings need to be enabled. If there was no smoke, you are already ahead of the game...

These things usually don't automatically work the first time on a new build. Be patient and work through the process of getting it up and running.
