Hello,
I keep getting unexpected exception errors on my IP1000 with builds over
the past 6 months or so. The unexpected exception errors are random errors
and are different every time, but seem to happen right about the time the
vga rom loads. I think it has something to do with x86emu and yabel loading
the vga rom. If I change it to boot up with out graphics it boots up every
time, no problem. If I enable the vga device (2.0) and allocate vga memory
but not load the vga rom it boots up every time no problem. So this tells
me it doesn’t like something the rom emulator is doing, right? This is
very strange because I do not have this problem with the RM4100… just the
IP1000 (brother boards).
You could well be tickling a but in either emulator. These are hard to
find. It's handy to have a user-mode wrapper so you can run these
emulators under linux -- much easier to find that way. Is this
possible with YABEL?
