Hi Alfonso,
Has there been any progress at all as to which extensions may be
causing
the crashes?
Remove these extensions from the Extensions folder and Mac OS 9 will
boot to the desktop:
Apple Audio Extension Apple Enet Multiprocessing folder Open Transport aslm modules Text Encoding Converter
Note: I used Cormac's Mac OS 9.2.1 iso file to do my testing.
Now this is definitely helpful. Just to confirm that the presence of
any
*one* of these modules causes boot to fail?
Yes. That is correct.
I've just done some testing here on my 9.2.2 ISO and I've found the following:
- Removing "Apple Audio Extension" appears to prevent some kind of
corruption which allows MacsBugs to give non-corrupt stack traces
The resulting stack trace points at "AINI 8042 05AE Startup ASLM PPC"
Further removing "Open Transport ASLM Modules" allows boot to proceed
nearly all the way except for a hang just before the progress bar reaches the end
- Finally removing "Multiprocessing" allows boot to proceed all the way
to the desktop
Alfonso/John can you confirm whether removing these 3 extensions works for your images too? If you are able to run the OS 9 installer all the way through and manually mount the hd images to remove them by hand before the next boot, do you end up with a bootable OS 9 HD image?
Which version of Macsbug are you using? Do you have an 9.2.2 image file available for download that has macsbug installed? I tried installing Macsbug 6.6.3 into my iso file, but Mac OS 9 always stops booting right before the debugger message is suppose to appear.
Here are some links I packaged for the emaculation forum, included is an image with macsbug installed already. I had success booting to desktop.
Note: it seems as time goes by, booting several times using the ISO images corrupts them, resulting in failed boots with crashes at the boot splash screen. Crashes will continue until you replace them with fresh ones from the zip files. Reasons as to why are unknown at this time.
