Weird crashes, 2 fold.

[phazey]

Hi,

I've got two really weird problems, one with potentially PearPC, the other with OSX

1) I installed OSX 10.1, then upgraded to 10.3, choosing the first disk only. works a treat. But when i go to the network preferences within OSX, the control panel generates a crash (so i cant network).

2) Luckily, i backed up the image and installed the 2nd disk from the panther set. Now, every ppc.* exe fails to boot, with a "not responding" error in windows.....

I'm wondering if i can "ifconfig" the network card in point 1) to get networking........or should i start again (another 30 odd hours down the pan :|)

Thanks very much

To add more information, i get this in the DOS console:

JITC Warning, program exception: 00080000 00000000

repeated constantly until i close the app


Cheers,

point 1) solved.

I used a shell terminal and manually configured device "en1" to add 192.168.0.20/24":

/sbin/ifconfig en1 192.168.0.20 255.255.255.0


and edited the dns file /etc/resolv.conf" to add nameservers.

vi /etc/resolv.conf (enter the following)

[press i] (for insert)

nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
(xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx being your ISP's DNS server)

[press: ":wq!<return>" to quit]

i also executed "/sbin/route add default 192.168.0.1" to add the default gateway

now happily chatting with iChat and downloading x-chat for some irc (using safari)

hope that helps some of you guys.
