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).
I am getting some reports that if you let it sit at the unexpected exception error for a minute and then cycle the power it will boot up
the
second round. Do I need to add a delay somewhere??? This is driving me crazy!
Have you tried vm86? The one in jetway/j7f2 is already set up for a 512k rom, you'd just need to plug it in.
Thanks, I think I will try that, then I would at least know that it is an issue with the emulator, but as Ron said "You could well be tickling a but in either emulator."
