[Freemint-discuss] Memory Protection on Falcon/CT60

[Mark D. <mdu...@at...>]

Hello all,

I was also wondering if anyone runs a modern (1.19 kernel) on a CT60
falcon with CTPCI, with or without ethernat?  I am having a lot of
trouble with memory violations and the situation is very strange.  I
seem to be able to cause the issue by moving the mouse quickly during
heavy IDE I/O.  Removing the ethernat and using PPP appears to improve
things but I have further testing to do.  I am trying to figure out if
memory protection is pointless on this setup or if my system has a
genuine problem.

The thing is I don't ever get disk corruption, I've run intense test of
both st ram and alt ram.  I've run demos for hours and hours.  I've
played mp3 via aniplayer dsp for hours and hours.  All of the systems
seem to work on their own but as soon as the mint kernel is involved all
hell breaks loose.  Often times when I cause the crash I'll get an
exception processing after reboot and I will have to physically shut
down and restart the system.  I believe hardware but how... How would
mouse movements during disk cause memory issues?  Anyone have any idea
how to narrow it down?  I've already triggered it with ethernat removed
and now I will remove ctpci shortly.  I'd really love to figure it out
but I'm running out of ideas.

Thanks,

Mark
