Internal Error Nos. &800000X

What do error numbers in the range &8000000 to &8000002 mean?
I am getting these at start up with my BeagleBoard and recent ROMs (v5.19) together with recent versions of ‘HardDisc4’ from ROOL.

A hardware error from the operating system?

OK, but what hardware fault? The SD card, the USB stick or the BB?
Also, I keep getting the Supervisor prompt on all recent versions of ROM and !Boot. I didn’t use to get these.

You need to check that the configured language corresponds to the Desktop module. In a task window, type *Status Language and it should output a number that corresponds to that of the Desktop module in the list that comes from *ROMModules. If it doesn’t, you need to do *Configure Language 11 – or whatever the correct number is.

Also note: if you move or rename !Boot on the RPi, you will almost certainly end up breaking the magic disc image format meaning RISC OS won’t be able to see the FAT partition correctly to load the ROMs. The file “!Boot.Loader” is magic and shouldn’t be moved, copied-over or renamed. And the same goes for !Boot (because Loader is inside it!).

Thanks for help. Status Language gave Language 11 which is the same as the position of SharedCLibrary in *ROMModules. The Desktop module is at position 10. The position for the Desktop module used to be 11 and so I wonder whether any other modules have changed postion so that I need to reconfigure them?
I notice that status FS = unset. Does that matter?

One step at a time. Change the configured language and reboot, then see what happens.

In addition to Steve’s suggestions.

Is this using a clean hard disc image or one that you have copied over elements to from another machine.

What does *unplug give?

Have you a hardware CMOS addon in your Beagleboard?

How are you powering the Beaglebaord and also what are you using on the USB ports.

Clean HardDisc image, dated 21st Sept 12, and latest ROM works OK here with my Beagleboard.

The !Boot directory is dated 21/09/12, so today, and the ROM is V5.19 dated 24/08/12.
*unplug gives “No modules are unpluggged”.
BB has the CMOS widget.
The power block is a Maplins Switched Mode AC to DC set at 5v.
On the 7-port hub I have keyboard, mouse, ether USB adaptor (BB is not xM) and one USB stick with “HardDisc4” on.

So what happens if you use the 20th Sept 12 ROM?

Also how about hiding all your old Hard Disc image in a folder “Old” and then putting a complete clean disc image on the USB stick.

Only other thing is that you have the older BB so what revision is the board as that may help identify if it is something to do with the board initialisation.

&80000000 = Undefined Instruction. The processor encountered an instruction it didn’t understand. Usually means you’re trying to execute data instead of code.

&80000001 = Abort on Instruction Fetch. The processor tried to fetch an instruction, but the memory it tried to access doesn’t exist or won’t allow it

&80000002 = Abort on Data Transfer. The processor tried to fetch some data, but the memory it tried to access doesn’t exist or won’t allow it

I think &80000003 = Address Exception (ARM1/2/3 only) – the processor tried to reference something outside the 64MB addressing range of the CPU. We don’t see this now because we can address the full 4GB of address space.

In summary, these are Bad News that something has gone Seriously Wrong.

By the way, it appears we were having this conversation two years ago

You need to check that the configured language corresponds to the Desktop module. In a task window, type *Status Language and it should output a number that corresponds to that of the Desktop module

In general that shouldn’t be needed – the boot sequence has an explicit *DESKTOP in it (when the file ‘Desktop’ is run, due to its run type) so the main thing to check is *CONFIGURE BOOT/FILESYSTEM/DRIVE. The configured language is only called upon if boot fails for some reason.

*status shows no entry against boot (2nd line), FileSystem as SCSI and for ‘drive’ there are 3 lines giving, SCSIFSDrive as 0, SDFSdrive as 0 and CDROMDrives as 0.
I hope these are correct.

Have you tried that yet?
It can be very frustrating when you tell someone the fix¹ and they ignore it, going off on a tangent!

¹ It may not fix your error &800000000X problem but it will fix the fact that you ‘language’ is set wrong.

Chris, looking back a few posts, I perhaps didn’t make it clear that I have changed the configured language, but it hasn’t helped. To be clear, *status gives language as 10, whereas it was at 11.
Further, sometimes if I close down and then click on Restart, it boots up satisfactorily except that it doesn’t always establish a connection with the router until I do a retry.
By the way, what number is the very first position for ROMModules, is it 0 or 1? Verma says 0, but *ROMModules says 1 (it’s the UtilityModule).

Chris, for block quotes to work, you need an empty line before and after the quote.

I have put today’s ‘HardDisc4’ and ROM on the a USB stick and SD card, respectively.
After powering up BB and clicking on the USB stick icon BB gives the error:
“No Boot Application has been run on startup. Some facilities may not be available or set up.”
I used SDCreate for the SD card.
If I do a *ping to the router, I get “File ‘ping’ not found.” :-(
BB has the widget and I did not offer a CMOS file to SDCreate. I looked at the default CMOS file created and it consists of a long string of red zeros, at least they look like zeros, ending with a character like p (white) followed by A00 (red), if that’s relevant.

Dave

Why have you got the language set to 10. I have it set to 11 here?

As previoulsy stated do one thing at a time and step by step.

Also as you state you have a widget so the CMOS file should not be required and can be deleted though it does seem odd that it seems to be ignoring what you have on the widget and loading defaults. Are you sure the widget is working or seated correctly?

Why not show the full detail of *status instead of giving snippets.

*status shows no entry against boot (2nd line), FileSystem as SCSI and for ‘drive’ there are 3 lines giving, SCSIFSDrive as 0, SDFSdrive as 0 and CDROMDrives as 0.

For a BeagleBoard with the boot sequence on a USB stick you should have
Boot (not ‘NoBoot’)
FileSystem SCSI (not ‘SDFS’)
SCSIFSDrive 0 (USB attached harddisc would be 4 usually)

“No Boot Application has been run on startup” … “File ‘ping’ not found"

The boot sequence has not run – the first error message reminds you of this (when opening the filer for that drive), and that’s also why you can’t ping (because in the boot sequence the internet utilities are added to your run path).

@Doug Webb

Why have you got the language set to 10. I have it set to 11 here?

Have you read the posts of 21/09/12 in this thread? *ROMModules gave the desktop as position 10 and so I configured language to 10 from 11, following Steve Revill’s advice. Please read the posts!
Yes, I am doing one step at a time.
I did wonder whether the widget could have become unseated, but how? It has a pretty firm seating and BB is not moved. The whole of *status is rather long for a post and most of it irrelevant to this problem. If you read the posts you will see that I have given what I think are the relvant entries. Also see previous post of Sprow.
Can you do a *ROMModules and tell me the position number of Desktop on your system? I would be interested to know whether it’s 10 or 11. I believe you have a BB-xM? Could something be different for a BB-xM compared to my BB?

@Sprow
The settings you mention agree with what I have, but note I have SDFSDrive 0 as well as SCSIFSDrive 0. Is that the problem?

I have just powered up BB and this time there is no message that !Boot hasn’t been run! No other error messages either.

Dave

Firstly I am well aware of the previous posts and I was informing you that on my BeagleBoard -Xm the language was set to 11 and not 10, if I do a *status, and I don’t get the issue.

*ROMModules gives Desktop in position 10.

Having read your post above it seems that you don’t now get an error message so are you now saying your system works OK?

The settings you mention agree with what I have, but note I have SDFSDrive 0 as well as SCSIFSDrive 0. Is that the problem?

No, each filing system has a default drive assignment (ADFS=Drive; SCSIFS=SCSIFSDrive; SDFS=SDFSDrive) for booting purposes only the one that corresponds to the configured filesystem matters.

My settings are language 11 which points to SharedCLibrary whereas Desktop is in position 10 as above. I don’t get any startup errors.

Just tried configuring language to 10. Makes no difference, the machine still starts happily. BB -xM C, ROM & disc 22-sept.

[edit] Seems you can configure language to anything and start up will still be OK. I tried 0, 1, 9, 10 & 11.

Seems you can configure language to anything and start up will still be OK. I tried 0, 1, 9, 10 & 11.

That’s what you set it to before rebooting.
What was it after you completed the reboot? and were any other settings different after the reboot?

Seems you can configure language to anything and start up will still be OK.

As I understand it, if you have a successful boot from the standard image resulting in a desktop appearing, then the language setting is not relevant. If the boot process ends with an error (or you have ‘noboot’ set), then you are dropped into the supervisor prompt and the selected language is started up. Where the selected language is ‘Desktop’ then it forces a ‘*DESKTOP’ and you get a non-fully functioning (because Boot did not finish) desktop.

That’s a good explanation and reading back I see Sprow’s already been there. Umm, a bit slow getting the gist there. Configure Language 10 it is then.

What was it after you completed the reboot?

The same.

*ROMModules gives Desktop in position 10.

It seems that you haven’t read carefully enough what Steve Revill said at 12.39pm on 21/9. I was following that advice in setting the language to 10. In your case this advice means setting your language to 10 too. I am not an expert, just following the advice of those who are! :-)
