Re: [Freemint-discuss] XaAES often crashes during boot after a reboot

Not sure if I want to spend all the time that this requires... Also, the problem is a bit vague. While I can get it to crash quite consistently after a warm reboot, the crashes are not the same. https://atari.joska.no/Milan/crash-milan-1.jpg https://atari.joska.no/Milan/crash-milan-2.jpg https://atari.joska.no/Milan/crash-milan-3.jpg https://atari.joska.no/Milan/crash-milan-4.jpg https://atari.joska.no/Milan/crash-milan-5.jpg How to reproduce (on my Milan): - Boot to the desktop from a power-up. - Run and exit some program. - Do a warm reboot (I do this from the task manager). It will usually crash when starting XaAES when I do this. When it crashes the computer is locked up, resetting from the keyboard doesn't work. If I clear memory before running MiNT - either with my small program or by clearing the fastload-bit on mintmin.prg - this never happens. Have rebooted repeatedly for about half an hour without a single glitch. If I instead of rebooting the machine only restarts or quits XaAES (from the XaAES system menu) there is no problem. Btw you'll see in a couple of the screenshot that the last (and only) auto-folder-program is the FPU-emulator. I have also tested without running this and it makes no difference. The XaAES logfile says nothing. The problem happens less frequently on my CT60, but when it happens it is very similar to what happens on the Milan.
