when I try to build an extended 512k ROM-image, I get an error when I try to add romheader_45.21:
"Remus error: no resident found" |

v45.24 seems to run fine on my A1200.
Is there any way to determine if exec.library causes an error, or if an error is caused by other parts of the system? Also some kind of testing-tool or 'stress test' would be helpful for testing. |

All my work is all the time in pure asm = mistake and bug are easy to come... And sometimes hard to detect...
I have no other choice : users (and I) want faster and no patched libraries... Remember that many Amigamen have the original source of the Kickstart 3.1, except me = harder to improve this Kick without... I know these 'Amigamen', I'll remember for sure, believe in me... That's why I release betas : I don't have time to test and check by myself, coding take all my free time ! So, all apologies for bugs and issues, I do my best with what I have (raw sources without any comments) ! |

But maybe you got me wrong - I am not complaining that your patches are buggy Of course bugs can easily happen when coding in Assembler. I only want to help testing. But I am wondering if there is some program on Amiga I can run for a few hours to trigger bugs more easily. On my Linux PCs when I build the kernel, staging kernel modules or some other beta software I run e.g. BOINC or some OpenGL programs, benchmarks, etc. for some hours to see if the system is stable. On the Amiga I can run AIBB or simply run the Workbench for hours, but I don't know if this is any good for testing. Also if I get a Guru, how do I know if the cause is a part of AmigaOS or some other program? |

You could make eor difference files. Simply eor the original rom and the patched rom together. When the resulting data and the original rom are eored, you get the patched rom. Easy

The 8 number code on the left of a guru meditation tells the user whether it's fatal or not, what the error is and which part of AmigaOS caused it (e.g. Exec, Intuition, etc.). I did find an excellent description of how to decode the codes that Guru Meditation returns. I searched and couldn't find the page I found the other week (I saved the page to my laptop), but this page is just as good (possibly better): http://www.amigahistory.co.uk/guruguide.html Regards, Lonewolf10 |

To read the Guru you should use the Guru History function of MCP, which, during the reboot, write in a file the last guru meditation.

I'm using V 1.43 and I'll not change it (update) because it's doing the jobs I need very well. Bye |

I've been using the new exec for quite some time on my A600 and custom ROM mapped via MapROM feature of ACA and everything works like a charm.
After remaking a custom Kickstart for my A1200D PPC, I found out that this exec... doesn't recognize my BPPC's SCSI! - Using BB2's Exec+1MBROM module+Remus Romheader it works just fine! - Using Cosmos Exec+Cosmos Romheader I only get the scsi.device to boot! (ofc since it's a BPPC I also use in both circumstances "DummyCDStrap" module). |

Also... My A600 custom kickstart doesn't boot with the new version (endless reboots). With the previous version it worked like a charm! I'm attaching you my Remus project files to check it out (in case any other module conflicts with your Exec. Last edited by mfilos; 27 June 2011 at 09:18. |

>Sure thing! No problems with my FastRAM and Exec 45.20. You can check one video here:

What ??? I tried the 45.20 on two BlizzardPPC 040 and 060 : zero fastram all the time... >Also... My A600 custom kickstart doesn't boot with the new version (endless reboots). Oh, it's again my Amiga models detection who f*** on A600... |

exec.library v45.25.15 WIP
- v45.24 to v45.25 - All functions and tables %0x00 aligned to keep 68000/010 happy - Added 68060 detection - AFF_68060 flag set into AttnFlags if 060 detected - OCS/ECS/AGA/Akiko/A3000/A4000D detection added in the new ([4.w],ModelFlags) - One bit reserved into ModelFlags for the future Natami - One bit reserved into ModelFlags for the future FPGAArcade - MMU020 bit flags added into AttnFlags if 020 with external MMU detected - MMU030 bit flags added into AttnFlags if 030 with MMU detected - MMU040 bit flags added into AttnFlags if 040/040LC detected - One bit reserved into AttnFlags for the future 68050 - Small start delay added for some fast accelerator boards (ACA630...) - R_AllocPooled optimised - R_CopyMem_020 if 020/030/040 detected - R_CopyMemQuick_020 if 020/030/040 detected - R_Dispatch_060 if 060 detected - R_FreePooled optimised - R_Launch_060 if 060 detected - R_Supervisor_060 if 060 detected - R_Switch_060 if 060 detected Still not working on A600 : I need to find another way to detect this model... These new 060 special functions are not activated because of the Blizzard and Apollo 060 firmware (27C256 Plcc & 27C010 Dip), but the code is into this new version Added ModelFlags : exec.library know now the Amiga Classic model. Others future romable libraries will need this feature... Last edited by Cosmos; 16 July 2011 at 18:12. |
