Basilisk periodic SEGV at 0xa88f548f

Post by stixpjr »

I'm running Basilisk II on NetBSD 9.3ish amd64 and see SEGV's frequently during many operations, currently opening a text editor in Symantec C++ triggers it reliably. Opening some old games also triggers it - the PC seems to be consistently 0xa88f548f, which I vaguely recall being up near ROM space somewhere?. I've tried builds from both github repositories - cebix/macemu & kanjitalk755/macemu. ROM is from my own IIci dumped some 20 years ago, which compares byte for byte with other ROMs I've found elsewhere. I've System 7.6 installed, which seems to otherwise run ok. None of the jit flags seems to make a difference. I'm building with gcc version 7.5.0 (nb4 20200810). Unless anyone has any other ideas, I might try building with a more recent gcc and/or upgrade to 7.6.1.

You do not mention settings in your BasiliskII prefs file.
Make sure the entry ignoresegv is set to true:

Code: Select all

ignoresegv true
Or, In the GUI, enable "Ignore Illegal Memory Accesses"

Ok, the "Ignore Illegal Memory Accesses" option is greyed out in the GUI, but setting

Code: Select all

ignoresegv true
in the prefs just results in a double SEGV at the same address, which terminates Basilisk:

Just a few suggestion, no guarantee that it will diminish the problem.

1. Use the Performa rom file that can be downloaded from the SheepShaver tutorial on the Redundant Robot site.

2. Set Mac Model ID to "Quadra 900"
(Model ID "Mac IIci" is only needed for System versions earlier than System 7.5.)

3. Set RAM size to 128 or even 256 MB

4. Run BasiliskII after a fresh restart of the host without first starting other processes.

5. Try BasiliskII with JIT compiler disabled.

Thanks for the hints!

I spent some more time on this, and made a discovery - with all extensions disabled, I don't see crashes. Some binary searching, and I've determined that the "AppleScript™" extension, version 1.1 from System Software 7.6, appears to be the cause of the crashes.

I also made the discovery that turning VM on triggers 'error type 10' at startup, and turning it off required ResEdit to change a byte in System file resource 'vm ' ID 0 - from leading 0x00000001 to 0x00000000. That was a fun blast from the past :lol:
