Amiga OS4.1 on PegasosII
Just popping in

See User information
I've installed os4.1 on my PegII in a dual boot setup with mos2.2 which works nicely, to a point.
I am experiencing some strange behaviour.

1)I get a grim reaper if I try to load the GUI prefs program. I try ignoring dsi errors and continuing the program but it just doesn't load. I got it to work once or twice if I booted from the cd and loaded the program from there. Even that didn't work last time I tried. In the end I edited my GUI prefs on my sam and copied the file over.

2)OWB3.5 seems much more unstable on the Peg compared to the sam, throwing up grim reapers very frequently. Sites that I've used frequently without problems in the past (ebay, Amigaworld.net and this site etc.) with owb on the sam now seem to cause problems. I don't think it's owb itself that's misbehaving but a component of the OS that it uses.

Anyone else have experience of this or any idea what might be causing it?

1)

Try deleting the GUI.prefs file or try restoring the default file from the OS4.1 Install CD.

Oh and yes post the crash log to crashlog.os4depot.net, its where useful for developers.

2)

No idea, maybe you should do a RAM test on your Pegasus II/Sam440ep, there should be no difference between Sam440ep and Pegasus II, unless there is bug in side one of the drivers.

Thanks for the suggestion!
I copied my gui.prefs file to a different location deleted it from envarc:. Rebooted. GUI prefs loaded fine, loaded the gui.prefs file from it's backup location and saved. Haven't had a grim reaper all morning! OWB3.6 has been 100% stable. I feel a bit stupid that it turned out to be something so simple. I just didn't suspect that a dodgy prefs file could cause that much of a problem.

And you are right that it shouldn't crash but hey, there's nothing perfect in this world
