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?
ATB,
