Post by AliCologne »

Hi there,

i have a problem with sheepshaver at bootime. :(

firstly here some stats:

Debian Linux, Knoppix 3.4 Hd Installation
Latest Sheepschaver Build Ver. 2.2
Rom from the 8.6 Romupdate Disk (Apple)
Mac OS 8

At booting from CDROM or Hardfile the macos welcome smiley apears,
but after a second sheepshaver quits with following message:

i have never run sheepshaver, but try logging in as a normal user, not root.

If you try that, could you say what happens?

Hello,

Have you disabled all full screen resolutions?
Just leave the windowed 640x480 and 800x600 enabled.

Best,

In the SheepShaver setup screen, on the memory tab, try enabling "ignore illegal memory access."

Use MacOS >= 8.5 with NewWorld ROMs. I doubt people ever installed e.g. OS 8.1 on an iMac.
