- This isn't going to be of much help, but...
-
- Yes the task: xxx is the address of the running task's task structure when the
- event that caused the GURU occured. The particular addresses you see
- (starting with 0800 are simply the first 64K (16MB in the case of 08xx) of
- memory at the start of your 32 bit memory which used first. It should be no
- surprize that GURUs close to boot-up always fall in this address range.
- Unfortunately, this means it's of no help either.
-
- The only suggestions I can think of are:
- a) comment everything out of your startup-sequence and add things back one at
- a time until you find something that crashes.
- b) Try running segtracker and enforcer before anything you've added to your
- startup-sequence. (Enforcer will often help point out which programs
- aren't working correctly.)
