SW to generate logfile after a guru
« on: June 04, 2003, 07:41:58 AM »
Hi all,
Sometimes my A1200PPC crashes when I retrieve my email from my provider, using yam2.3p1, miami, dopus magellan2 and amigaOS3.9
This morning the guru was dopus_lister but could not figure out what is wrong. Is there a program that would let me analyse what causes this crash ?

There is, and its built into Exec. Its called SAD, and its a built-in debugger. You can access it via a serial connection (9600BPS, IIRC). Details are in the exec.library autodoc.

Be warned: it is very technical, and you have to know your assembler, and the Amiga's workings.

As for something more user-friendly... well... i'm not sure anything really useful is possible.

I used to use a Program called (From memory) "NO GURU"

I was great if something crashed the Amiga would bring up a large requester giving me lots of details... and several options, like Continue, Freeze, Kill, Save Log and Cancel...

I had it set by default to save to a log file, where it gave a full debug info of the CPU regs and stuff like that... The Freeze feature was great, as you could lock the program and continue using your Amiga, for some reason Killing the program, would just case a reset :-/

MCP can catch and record information from Guru's.  There's also MuForce (part of MMU Tools on Aminet).  Enforcer and SegTracker also come to mind.  Some of these require you have a serial port connected to something that can capture its output during the crash.

It's going to be difficult to find the problem this way. The non-protected nature of the Amiga's memory means it could be anything going bad and causing that crash, the debug information won't tell you much (just what program was unlucky enough to have itself overwritten by the rogue task).

Taking a different tack, you have noticed it happens with YAM when downloading mail. So in all probability YAM or one of its components is the culprit! Try and make it reproducible and submit it as a bug report. (I also notice you are not running the latest YAM version - perhaps it is fixed already!)

maybe you are right, I should upgrade to yam2.4 and see if I can reproduce the bug.
