Ever since upgrading to the full OS4 release Ibrowse 2.4 keeps randomly crashing with a grimreaper on the IbrowseNetwork. I have tried black listing Ibrowse to no effect, this happens with both the OEM version supplied with OS4 and a full registered version.

It now seems such errors are not limmited to Ibrowse as I just got a simular error with Aweb whilst typing this, I was able to continue by ignoring DSI errors.

Can anyone help?

@Arnie

Getting DSI errors with tunenet to.
WookieChat seems to run OK
Any ideas folks?

Sounds suspciously like ArticiaS being picky with RAM. I wonder if the new memory system is pushing RAM sticks harder, and the closer they get to their maximum potential, the more the slight ArticiaS compatbility glitches appear.

Thats a theory of mine, but I'm no expert, so I'll leave it to the other guys to diagnose this problem properly.

EDIT: When I started making WookieChat save peoples hostnames to a string every time someone spoke, I got more complaints about grim reaper alerts. One user in particular told me about this. But then he changed his RAM, and the problem disapeared. Yet another failing of the A1 series I think. It will be good to see some non-ArticiaS hardware for OS4, but lets not discuss that here.

Don't use IBrowse here so can't comment on it but have no problems with either AWeb or Tunenet here. Posting this from AWeb 3.5.08 beta (OS4 final).

@jahc

Oh, I hope its not the ram. Can't say that I have had this level of problems up to now, I'm still using the 512Mb stick fitted by Eyetech when I bought the board so I should hope that this is one of the compatible ones.

Its just happened again with Aweb whislt doing the same thing that is pressing the post preview button!

I have also had problems with Tunenet and Ibrowse. Both programs worked flawlessly before updating OS4.

I hope it is not a RAM problem because I don't intend to hunt for compatible RAM for a system I bought years ago.

@Arnie and all those having trouble with DSI errors!

Have you downloaded the SVG Datatype from OS4 Depot?

The reason I ask is that I have only had one problem so far, LimpidClock,
then all of a sudden, just as described, DSI`s and ISI`s on browsers

I spotted SVG in the crashlog and realised it was the only thing I had introduced recently, hid both parts, rebooted and the problem was gone.
Revealed SVG again and back they came.

If it`s not the direct cause, it might be acting as a catalyst for something else. So if you have it try removing it.

Regards Richard.

Right - I'm going to release a service patch for TuneNet.

It is a stupid bug I introduced in the latest version (to do with the encoder routines believe it or not) you have the following options:

1/ Install the mpega.library (even if you don't want to use it).
or
2/ Install the older V0.79 release (on TuneNet homepage).
or
3/ Wait till I can get my hands on a version of Memguard that works on OS4 Final in order to test and release my service release.

Cheers,
Bean.

The SVG Datatype needs expat.library 4.1 (18.03.2005) from expat-ppc.lha.
With the old expat.library 2.3 (20.04.2005) (from expat_lib_os4.lha) it will crash.

@Draby

You did download the 0.5 update I uploaded quite recently to OS4Depot? It will work much better on OS4 final. This version only works with the final version though (not update #4).

ZeroG's comments also apply, though it shouldn't crash but simply not work unless you have generated and installed a expat.l.main glue file. This is mentioned in the readme file too.

@Bean

> 3/ Wait till I can get my hands on a version of Memguard that works on OS4 Final

MemGuard 1.12 works with OS4 final, its on the beta ftp server, no idea if
its also released elsewhere.

Documentation/kernel/kernel.readme should explain the usage of the MUNGE
option which may be enough to force reproducable crashes (which is a good
thing for a programmer :)

@ZeroG & salass00

Doh! That`s me not paying enough attention

I did go through the readme, but there was so much going on at the time that not only had I not installed expat.lib I had grabbed the wrong one anyway...

yes I know... excuses excuses.

Thanks, Richard

@all

I also have a problem with AHI! Only the unit 0 and the genereic can be changes. The other units do not work. And maybe some programs crash because of this.

Hi Arnie,

I too am having troubles with DSI errors in IBrowse. I pretty much can't get anywhere in it. As soon as I try to navigate to any web page it will pop up with a DSI error. Then it seems to be pretty much frozen after that. I can usually kill it and restart it, but most of the time I can't even get an entire web page to load. Seemed to work fine before the OS4 Final install... (?)

@L8Knight

Is it a fresh install of IB 2.4?

Hi Mr_Capehill,

Yep! Reformatted my old OS4Update4 partition then installed.

--Barry Steenbergh

@L8Knight

So can you post crashlogs?

@all

Things seem to be getting worse for me, jahc could be right about this new memory system pushing things harder and a bit to far in my case as I have had several DSI errors with the workbench now and even the grim reaper has grim reapered .

@all

Thought I'd throw my own findings into the mix here - I had a similar problem with YAM (68020 build) when I first re-installed. This was a clean install of OS4 that literally only had some of the missing MUI custom classes copied in. Things continued with random DSI errors until I noticed that my 'Archived Mail' folder didn't seem to have anything in it. It was then that I remembered that I was using the XPK libs for compression on this folder, and since copying that from my update 4 install, all seems fine.

Makes me think that something is getting trashed as the result of checking for a library that can't be found - although I'm far from an expert on such things. ;)

Please post crashlogs. It's a bit hard say why something crashes without more accurate information.
