[Simh] NetBSD 5.1 on MicoVAX 3900 boot error
I'm getting a Segv error on boot of NetBSD 5.1 on the VAX emulator of SIMH v 4.0 Beta. Install went fine w/o any problems.

I've tried all versions of NetBSD 5.x (5.0.2, 5.1, 5.1.5, 5.2 and 5.2.3) that I can find on SIMH 4.0 beta and they all Segv. I have an old NetBSD 3 that boots and I tried NetBSD 6.0.4 and that also boots. I am not able to run earlier versions of SIMH as I'm on Windows 10 64-bit and WinPCAP does not run on W10. I use NPcap on W10 and that doesn't work on earlier versions of SIMH which require WinPcap. I specifically want to run a 5.x version of NetBSD. I'm pretty sure it did run on SIMH 3.8-1 on Windows 7 before the upgrade. I need to downgrade a laptop I have to Win7 in the future and may try that.

You can get a pre-built Windows 32b 3.9 executable without Ethernet (and therefore, without needing WinPCap) here: http://simh.trailing-edge.com/sources/simhv39-0-exe.zip. It should run fine under W10.

Re: [Simh] NetBSD 5.1 on MicoVAX 3900 boot error
Actually, the latest simh ‘supported’ WinPcap is npcap. Npcap is part of the nmap project and directly shares the latest libpcap code. Npcap has a BSD license like the original WinPcap did. Win10pcap is a GPL package and is untested and unsupported for use with simh Ethernet devices. Npcap is available from: https://github.com/nmap/npcap/releases From: Simh [mailto:simh-boun...@trailing-edge.com] On Behalf Of Mark Abene Sent: Tuesday, April 18, 2017 3:07 PM To: Bob Supnik Cc: simh@trailing-edge.com Subject: Re: [Simh] NetBSD 5.1 on MicoVAX 3900 boot error Should one want winpcap in Windows 10, all one needs is: http://www.win10pcap.org/ -Mark On Tue, Apr 18, 2017 at 1:08 PM, Bob Supnik mailto:b...@supnik.org>> wrote: You can get a pre-built Windows 32b 3.9 executable without Ethernet (and therefore, without needing WinPCap) here: http://simh.trailing-edge.com/sources/simhv39-0-exe.zip.

Using that, I've tracked the SEGV back to the instruction which is actually faulting. The panic message and the initial kernel debug have nothing to do with the instruction which actually is failing. The address being referenced is indeed not valid, so how/why it gets to this point is the next question Is there some way you might have (or I might find) a link map for the kernel that is being booted? Knowing what module it is occurring in would give me a clue as to where to look next... Thanks again. - Mark That is way beyond my level of expertise, I'm afraid.

I've tried all versions of NetBSD 5.x (5.0.2, 5.1, 5.1.5, 5.2 and 5.2.3) that I can find on SIMH 4.0 beta and they all Segv. I have an old NetBSD 3 that boots and I tried NetBSD 6.0.4 and that also boots. I am not able to run earlier versions of SIMH as I'm on Windows 10 64-bit and WinPCAP does not run on W10. I use NPcap on W10 and that doesn't work on earlier versions of SIMH which require WinPcap. You shouldn't need WinPCAP merely to test if the CD image is bootable. The point of the boot test exercise is to help determine if the problem is in NetBSD or due to recent changes to simh. If changes to simh are at fault, I'll track it down and fix the problem. I specifically want to run a 5.x version of NetBSD. I'm pretty sure it did run on SIMH 3.8-1 on Windows 7 before the upgrade.

That is VERY strange. Simh v3.9 detects the DELQA-PLUS (DELQA-T) as a DEQNA/DELQA and not as the turbo case. So it uses qe vs qt. The 4.x simulation has some better emulation of the support which allows the different devices to be detected. BOTH NetBSD 5.x and NetBSD 6.x detect it as a turbo DELQA, 5.x crashes. I'm going to look at what both 5.x and 6.x do during their device probes to see if there is a difference. If all of the ways the device is being probed are the same, then the problem will lie somewhere else. > > 2) Why were these differences introduced? > > 3) Are you sure the qt driver NetBSD 5.x.x truly worked on real > > hardware? > I have had a 3900 using qt since loong time ago, running NetBSD 5 at last. > Not around for me anymore though. > > 4) If so, can we test that today (with real hardware)? > > > I might have a MV2 to test on, but not in the near future, so hopefully > someone else on this list can try?

It might still be worth explicitly comparing the qt code between these NetBSD versions. I compared (from the simulator's point of view) the sequence of interactions with the simh XQ device done by qt on both NetBSD 5.x and 6.x and they are identical up to the point where 5.x crashes. > > 2) Why were these differences introduced? > > 3) Are you sure the qt driver NetBSD 5.x.x truly worked on real > > hardware? > I have had a 3900 using qt since loong time ago, running NetBSD 5 at last. > Not around for me anymore though. It would seem to me that this could be debugged on the simulator along with code, link map and knowledge about what else is really going on if the driver code is actually unchanged between NetBSD 5.x and NetBSD 6.x. - Mark ___ Simh mailing list Simh@trailing-edge.com http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh
