funny startup prob.
Greg,
I'm having some sort of problem with my A2000 running 2.04 and need some
assistance in figuring it out. If you'd consider helping me out, I really
appreciate it!
Here's the problem: about a month ago I started getting a series of
recoverable alerts (error $7FFFFFFF i think) whenever I turned the machine
on. I was unable to get to the workbench or complete the boot; the
recoverable alert showed up twice, then I got the red flashing system
failure screen. So, then I booted from a floppy (my copy of WB 2.04, no
changes were made at all). Next I restored my entire sys: partition from
a backup. That at least allowed me to boot up the computer and get to the
workbench. BUT, there's still another problem that hasn't gone away.
The second and persisting problem is this: I turn on the computer, get
the gray screens, and a console window opens (i think that's what you call
it–similar to the cli window). it echoes the WB version and all and goes
about its' business. However, at the last moment, the following message
is written to the console window:
unable to create a new node
Then that console window closes and I'm at the workbench.
I'm completely stymied since this hasn't happened before. To make matters
worse, I called CBM who referred me to my local dealer. Well, no one
seems to know what this means. I looked through the 2.04 Includes an
Autodocs and the Libraries volumes, but can't find any error message that
says that.
HELP! I'm stumped on this one completely.
I used a virus checker to scan for viruses, and still no go.
Do you have any suggestions or insight about this?
