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?
