Ok, I need to say this....
In the last few days, my 3k refused to work properly. Birdie would guru on me on bootup, among other things (mount, setpatch, etc).
Ok, I said, I think it should be a 68040.library thing, changed it with another version, nothing, still getting gurus.
Anyway, after a long fight, I managed to get VirusZ to scan my SYS: partition, and came up with 30+ infected viruses. Managed to kill them all, except PathWB and Benchtrash which said they were corrupt. Ok, moved them out, and tried to reboot.
Well, boot started but stopped somewhere, nothing on the screen.
Edited the startup-sequence, added an echo statement, saved it, reboot..... CLI! Damn. startup-sequence file was gone, and disk was invalidated. Damn twice. And while it was "repairing" the HD, a requester informed me that block 'something' was used twice!.
Aaargh!
Anyway, going to format SYS:, and get the stuff back from a backup.
The irritating thing is, that this is the second time, this whole thing happens!!!
Anyway, a question: Is there anyone here with a Cyberstorm MK2 040 in an A3000? Which version of 68040.library do you use? Any patches or anything extra?
I'm using RamLibPatch and have added some more stack to keep YAM in specific from crashing at startup, but I've still got some problems. WW7 will crash the system at some point while using it, and Image Studio will guru on startup. It will eventually load after a couple of tries, though.
My system isnt as stable as I would like it, but I cant get to the bottom of this. The strange thing is that, my NetBSD setup is absolutelly flawless. I.e. it manages a kernel compilation (which stresses CPU and MEM), and never had a single problem with it, after long hours of messing around, so I cant really contribute the whole thing to a hardware fault.
So, any thoughts on how I can get my miggy in top shape, would be greatly appriciated. Specs: A3000D, CSMK2 040, 64M RAM, Picasso 2, X-Surf2.
Thanks.
