Re: Is libInit() protected from switching i.e not running multitask?


Hello!

I see difference between running my library between AOS4.1FinalEditionUpdate0 and AOS4.1FEUpdate2

Is there a Forbid() done by the Kernel when libInit() is called to initialize library code ? That was removed in AOS4.1FinalEditionUpdate2 ?

This leads to instability when launching multiple ...

Re: Networking


iirc correctly Olsen was looking for people who got this exact behaviour (dunno if he still is).
You should get in contact with him and help iron that out (or maybe just check that it is already gone).

Thanks, I'll drop him a line. I'm in the middle of moving house right now and have to re-build ...

Re: Workbench 3.1 (40.43) & Kickstart 3.1 (40.72)

It does say "first test release"

I have found a few issues:

The FONTS: bug is because the floppy is called FONTS: as well, so the "assign" exists to the installer - it then copies the files from df0: as instructed, but from the wrong disk.


The installation script would copy what the FONTS ...

Re: Workbench 3.1 (40.43) & Kickstart 3.1 (40.72)

I wonder if they even tested it.

So far:

- the Workbench disk is not bootable
- HDToolbox crashes when reading the geometry from the HDD (probably it is scsi.device which crashes because the HDSetup script crashes, too)
- the installer copies the Install disk into the fonts directory rather than ...

Re: Workbench 3.1 (40.43) & Kickstart 3.1 (40.72)

Very nice for you to sell these! I was happy to buy and have the first official Kickstart for my A4000T that includes workbench.library and equally happy that now same Kickstart can be used for A500 and A600.

Could you please split the following files for EEPROM use and include also the splitted ...

Re: How to get MAC address from C

I just checked the code and found that QueryInterfaceTags() copies as many bytes as there are bits in the address. Oops .. he-he ... bytes, bits, what is difference ...

Best regards,

The difference between bits and bytes is not quite as pronounced in the network driver which fills in the ...

Re: How to get MAC address from C

Size is always set to 48, i.e. 6 bytes, which is right for a MAC address but as I've said, it seems to copy more than 17 bytes to the destination buffer because passing a buffer of 17 bytes causes a crash. Yeah, that does indeed sound like a bug, then. Good to see Tony filed it already.
I just ...

@ssolie
From a shell's commandline

Run Recorder ram:output
both work well & in both circumstances you can close the recordingstream just using
Recorder off

Please do not run the "Recorder" command in the background. The "Recorder" command is for telling the shell to send ...

Re: AddNetRoute DSI

The only reason I didn't provide a crashlog, is because it is very reproducable. Just try to add a default gateway using AddNetRoute (as long as route doesn't already exist), and a DSI occurs.

Re: AddNetRoute DSI

Adding a default gateway via AddNetRoute results in a DSI in Update 2. More info if required, but it's straight-forward and easy to reproduce.

Also, it's the only roadshow CLI config tool that doesn't require an argument for the network interface to configure.

That's because routes are not tied ...
