Re: Occasional traps or locks on WPS start

I have been running eComStation 2.0 beta 2 milestone 2 (my
subscription expired) for some months, but lately I find a strange
problem:

When the WPS starts, sometimes it gets lock repeating a loop of the
startup sound while the pointer freezes with the clock cursor.
Sometimes it stays there, sometimes it goes on to a trap:
In one of the cases, I took a snapshot of the screen. Here you have
some of the data of the trap screen:

TRAP 0008 ERRCD=0000 ERACC=**** ERLIM=********

The system detected an internal processing error at
location ##0168:fff1da1f - 000e:ca1f.
60000, 9084

06860662
Internal revision 14.103a_W4

The system is stopped. Record all the above information
contact your service representative.

Strangely this trap screen is so similar to the one at
<news:dggr53$r7h2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> (
http://groups.google.es/group/netscape.public.mozilla.os2/msg/5cadc2e9877ea1a0
) that I pasted it and rewrote the different values.
However at n.p.mozilla.os2 it is attributed to Mozilla plugins.

Other times I have got CSLIM:ffffffff.

When I hit reset, in some rare occasions the next start proceeds to a
working WPS, but it mostly keeps locking. It could be related to the
INIs, because I have find that if I go back to a certain version of
the INIs, I will have a working WPS, however running Checkini,
Cleanini, Iconomize or FPos to fix the INIs does not guarantee a
working session after I close.
I have also tried shuffling some of the icons in the Startup folder
but it does not seem to have an influence. Currently I have: TCP/IP
startup, CAD-Popup, XCenter, Scheduler Helper, MMOS2 Updater,
LSwitcher, Removable Device Monitor 1.2.

Following some similar messages on the Internet I have updated to the
latest DaniS506 (1.8.1) and I activated UltraDMA5, but I don't see any
difference.

Some idea on what is causing these errors?

(I am going to post this also in news://news.ecomstation.com,
apologies to those seen it more than once)

Hi David,

if your system can be started to a command shell by using ALT-F1 during the boot blob then you most likely have corrupted INI-files. Try Checkini.exe (see hobbes) to fix it. Because this requires a complete boot to WPS you might be forced to create new INI files in a different directory using MakeIni.exe updating config.sys variables USER.INI and SYSTEM.INI, booting and then using checkini.exe pointing to your originals for fixing.

Hope this helps.
