Appletalk/Interrupts Makes my GS unstable!!!
Okay all you hardware nuts out there and software nuts as well... After
spending several hours over the last month making my gs do things it
is not supposed to... As usual.... I have run into a problem.......
If I DO NOT HAVE Appletalk enabled at all in the machine... It makes
my GS crash within about 30-40mins on average... This happens with
little or a lot of traffice ont he Appletalk net work I am running..
Currently 2 GS's, a Mac II- 030-40, and Quadra630.... Primary
symptons on ALL GS machines... The TWGS 13.75/32k 25ns srammed GS
will hang at boottime why searching for AFP hosts.... The Stock
GS with ZERO boards but a a 4 meg card.. YES I am booting the second
GS off the Appleshare Server MacII. Usually dies during the same
process. BUT if I reboot the machine the second time usually fixed
the problem.... BUT they both DIE after about 30-40mins of use...
Programs used are :) GNO, Beatbox, and Spectrum
NOW the really odd part. If I remove all the Appletalk inits/CDEVS/Drivers
and all and restart. The whole system becomes VERY stable EVEN the
13.75mhz one!!!!! YES High Speed GALS are used! (Thanks Scott!) I have
now confirmed this with an uptime of 4 days and 7hours and counting!!!!
on the GNO side, and I have done some wicked things under GNO too in
testing....
Anyone have any clues??? I have reinstalled the Appletalk stuff from
KNOWN good master disks 3 times now to prove various things.... Still
Same reproducible results.....
Oh and under NO circumstances open the ControlPanels window just after
entering MasterTracks Pro 1.0.4 It will crash your GS!!! Enter the
program, Open a midi file, play it. and then open the control panel and
all is well....
Any clues would be greatly appreciated!!! I have a few projects that I would
like to get underway, and haveing to reboot constantly to get to my
Appleshared volumes is a real pain and makes it hard to debug code!!!!
Especially when you KNOW the machine will fail for no apparent reason.
