ramlib program failed (error #80000004) on real Amiga

Starglider 2 · 30 May 2015, 01:23

Edit: For anyone else with this issue, the outcome was my A500 had the ebola virus. Create a bootable antivirus disk and disinfect your HDs as soon as possible. You might be lucky. I was not. Here's one of VirusZ: http://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p=1022881&postcount=2

I'm getting the above error on my otherwise working perfectly until then CF hard disk on real Amiga 500.

Code:

Software failure
ramlib
Program failed (error #80000003).
Wait for disk activity to finish.
[Suspend] [Reboot]

I can't run any WB programs after hitting Suspend.

Any ideas?

ramlib error #80000003 is Load Devs:Diskspare.device

Great, how would you fix that?

Edit: I tried copying a new version to DH0:/Devs but no difference

Arnie · 30 May 2015, 01:53

Rename your Devs:DosDrivers dir.

Starglider 2 · 30 May 2015, 01:56

I only have a folder in DH0:Devs called DOSDrivers. It contains PIPE. Rename the folder?

Starglider 2 · 30 May 2015, 01:58

Update: I tried renaming the folder. No change.
Also ran a HDToolbox verify. No errors.

Are you familiar with SnoopDos?

Starglider 2 · 30 May 2015, 02:00

Not yet...

Starglider 2 · 30 May 2015, 02:20

I've discovered that AExplorer in my WBStartup is causing it. Removing AExplorer stops the ramlib error. What I'm not sure of is why. Every time I run AExplorer, ramlib error comes up. Any ideas?

Arnie · 30 May 2015, 02:38

Something that Aexplorer uses is corrupted. Run Snoopdos2.0, then run AExporer. It might give you an Idea which file is failing to load before or during the ramlib error.

Starglider 2 · 30 May 2015, 02:41

Do you have a download link for "Snoopdos2.0"? Not on Aminet...

Arnie · 30 May 2015, 02:55

It seems that I'm well behind with Snoopdos as it's now up to ver 3.8. Time to upgrade methinks.

Thanks. Does this shed any light?

There was one more line under that but I couldn't scroll due to the crash:

Code:

ramlib Load DEVS:serial.device OK

Try moving the bsdsocket.library to a temporary drawer and reboot. It may throw up an error of the program using the library or cure the ramlib problem

Starglider 2 · 30 May 2015, 03:49

I'm assuming bsdsocket.library would be in DH0:libs/ but I can't see it anywhere. Is that the right location to look?

Arnie · 30 May 2015, 03:52

Yes, maybe that's the problem, it's missing! I don't really know as you said it was working O.K. before?

Starglider 2 · 30 May 2015, 03:52

Do you have a WB 3.1 version you can link me to?

Arnie · 30 May 2015, 03:53

A WB3.1 version of what?

bsdsocket.library comes with the TCP/IP stack (AmiTCP, Genesis, and Miami at least). It is created by the stack and should be available once you go online (it's not stored as a physical file in LIBS: like other libraries).

Starglider 2 · 30 May 2015, 03:58

OK let me put that another way. If it's missing, how do I fix that?

I'm wondering if WHDLoad was a culprit, as I see a mention of bsdsocket in its data (when searching with Dopus), but reinstalling WHDLoad has not fixed the issue.

Arnie · 30 May 2015, 04:02

Try reinstalling AFExplorer.

Does AFExplorer connect to your PC every time you boot the Amiga?
