    Hello,

    running OpenVMS83 installation (in "Configuring devices..." phase), I had these debug messages. I don't know if the "Debug pause" message is related to the new ide interface.

    %IDE-I-NODEV: Command to non-existing device 0.1. cmd=ec
    %IDE-I-NODEV: Command to non-existing device 1.1. cmd=ec
    %IDE-I-NODEV: Command to non-existing device 1.1. cmd=0
    %IDE-I-NODEV: Command to non-existing device 1.1. cmd=0
    %IDE-I-NODEV: Command to non-existing device 1.1. cmd=0
    Debug Pause: Wrote to 0x3n7 -- it is read only!
    %IDE-I-NODEV: Command to non-existing device 0.1. cmd=a1
    %IDE-I-NODEV: Command to non-existing device 1.1. cmd=a1

    I configured just disk0.0 and disk1.0 in my es40.cfg

    regards,
    fausto

      Hi!

      I'm the developer of the newide interface.  The "debug pause" message is really a message for me to let me know something is going on in a sea of debugging messages.  You just have to hit 'enter' in that window to get it to continue.  I'm going to submit a new version to Camiel this morning which puts that (and the other IDE-I-NODEV messages) into an ifdef block so they only happen if DEBUG_IDE is selected at compile time.

      Hello all,

      i'm testing the latest snapshot, but I have still some probs installing OpenVMS 8.3 with cdrom=true option.
      Now the boot is ok, but during the file copy, I have an unrecoverable error about a read operation, and some wrong crc from this read.

      If I set cdrom=false, I haven't this error, but it happens another strange thing: the installation (Execution Phase starting...) is fine until I reach the 50%, after that it hangs. The emulator is running fine, and no error messages are written on the DOS screen, but, last week, I waited for 3 hours and nothing happened after the 50%.

      What's after the 50%? Some special operations ?

      regards,
      fausto

      Hello all,

      other tests about NewIde and cdrom=true.
      Using the latest cvs (updated at 00:15 italian time), I receive a fatal error during the startup of OpenVMS 8.3, and the simulated machine reboot.

      On the DOS console I have

      Unknown PCHIP 1 CSR 0000340 read attempted.
      Unknown PCHIP 1 CSR 0000440 read attempted.
      Unknown PCHIP 1 CSR 0000480 read attempted.
      Unknown PCHIP 1 CSR 00004c0 read attempted.
      Unknown PCHIP 1 CSR 0000500 read attempted.
      Unknown PCHIP 1 CSR 0000540 read attempted.
      Unknown PCHIP 0 CSR 0000340 read attempted.
      Unknown PCHIP 0 CSR 0000440 read attempted.
      Unknown PCHIP 0 CSR 0000480 read attempted.
      Unknown PCHIP 0 CSR 00004c0 read attempted.
      Unknown PCHIP 0 CSR 0000500 read attempted.
      Unknown PCHIP 0 CSR 0000540 read attempted.
      [then the reboot]

      By the way if I use cdrom=false, the installation procedure starts, but it seems to hang at 50%, as I described before.

      regards,
      fausto

      Hi, Fausto.

      I am having the same problem, and at the DOS window the numbers are still running after 5:00hrs !

      Do you have any idea, or suggestion?

        Hello Flavio,

        this happened some versions ago.
        Now with the latest cvs version, also with the latest snapshot if I remember well, this delay doesn't exist anymore, and the installation go fine in about 1.5 hrs.

        regards,
        fausto

      Thanks for your help fausto, I am using version 0.18 of the emulator and the problem still occurs. What version of emulator are you using?

      Best regards,

      Flávio
