Problems with CPIO while installing AMIX on WinUAE 4.x
Hi All,
New request. Has anyone been able to install AMIX based on AmigaUnix wiki instructions with WinUAE 4.x? I've been trying to install the 2.1 release based on the two floppies and the tape archive on the wiki using WinUAE. Every time I try, the system panics due to CPIO. I've tried all three options, and none is complete without the panic. Is anyone out there willing to try it and see if you get the same results? It's as simple as opening this link, downloading the files, and giving it a go. Thanks! Bill |

Here is what the panic looks like:
TRAP proc = 400BB000 (pid 67, cpio) psw = 2300 pc = 70010B2 PANIC: KERNEL FAULT psw=0x2300, pc=0x70010B2, fmt=0x0, vector=0xB (Line-F Emulator) |

At which stage exactly does it panic for you?
I followed the instructions and installation seems to work just fine. Selected keyboard (de) Selected harddrive (default) Selected partitions (default,default,default) Selected file system (default) Selected "everything on the tape". Still running... |

Success!
I updated my WinUAE to 4.9.1 and ran it again with option 3, custom, and just used the default packages. Installation was successful. I was also able to build the out of the box kernel! Now to try this image on my ReAmiga 3K |

@thomas,
It was failing at different points, often at the X windows packages. |

I reckon you turned on "more compatible" in the CPU options, which ironically breaks Amix on WinUAE.
Incidentally, I did a whole video on installing Amix via WinUAE here [ Show youtube player ] |

Happens when MMU is off. (JIT on) Amix is a strange experience. Feels like time travelling back into the mid-80s. Now i'm more than ever grateful for this being the past not the present |

Sorry for necrothreading...but no, I too have gotten the same PANIC: KERNEL FAULT during install randomly at some point during install (this very attempt, it was at "Installing System administration utility", and MMU is on with JIT off. This is on the latest beta, but my understanding this has been a problem during installation (mitigated only by rare random luck) for several versions now.

I have been seeing this problem too. Trying to install Amix 2.03 from tape with A3000+A2065+A2410 config, it crashes at a seemingly random point every time.
Tried different versions of WinUAE from 3.6.0 to 5.3.0b5. Tried varying some settings like FPU softfloat, no change. I wonder if there is technically a bug in Amix or the installer which only shows up when things are much faster than they ever were on real hardware? The fault type and program name can vary each time, it's not always cpio. Some examples: Code:
Installing Other GNU source code cpio: Bad magic number/header. 1 errors installation of gnusrc failed Installation from tape failed. dd: write error: I/O error Patching kernel... The system is halted; you may reboot or turn off power. Code:
Installing Uucp networking software TRAP proc = 400D5400 (pid 118, sort) psw = 2000 pc = 703CD68 Fault addr = 401CA788 PANIC: KERNEL FAULT psw = 0x2000, pc=0x703CD68, fmt=0xA, vector=0x2 (Bus Error) Code:
Installing Open Look development tools TRAP proc = 4015B200 (pid 154, awk) psw = 2010 pc = 1 PANIC: KERNEL FAULT psw=0x2010, pc=0x1, fmt=0x0, vector=0xB (Line-F Emulator) Code:

You do have 68030 + 68881 + MMU + fastest possible and nothing else enabled? (More compatible etc must NOT BE enabled)

2.1 Amix install seems to work. 2.03 seems to crash randomly. Not going to debug because it is far too random and can't be reproduced.
