System error: booting PXI-8186 in RT mode

My PXI-8186 system refuses to boot in RT mode. It says :"Rebooting due to system error. Redirecting output to logfile"...and the screen hangs there. From the host computer, it appears that there is a software error.
How should I solve the problem?

Hi Danny,
I've managed to solve the problem since. But I 'uninstalled' the RT softwares by booting up the PXI in Windows (yes, my controller is a dual-boot system), and removing 2 files in C:\ and the entire folder C:\rt. Then I re-installed the softwares using MAX, and it seems to work now. (I managed to get a NI-rep from S'pore to help me with this as I needed it to work urgently). Thanks for replying though!
Cheers.

Initializing network failed PXI 8186...

Hai
I configured a PXI 8186 and set a network IP address to it. After that i installed labview RT 7.0, i received prompt message saying that there are already some installed components those should be uninstalled before installing this version. I clicked Ok, after this the system is not booting up or so it looks like.
the message on the monitor looks like "initializing network...Failed" and it stops there
can any body tell me what is the problem and how do i solve it?
any help would be very useful
Thanx
Arun

Hello Arun,
I think the best bet at this point would be to try and boot the 8186 into safe mode. Once in safe mode, we should be able to access the controller through the network and reinstall software or reformat the controller.
I�ve attached a link below to the User�s Manual for the 8186. Details on booting the controller into safe mode via the BIOS and the configuration switches are on pages 2-8 and 2-11, respectively.

I hope this helps out. Please let me know if this does not get your controller communicating on the network.

LabVIEW RT 8.5.1 "reboot due to system error"

I'm running my app on a quad core RT desktop target. The executable runs anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours before the machine reboots. About half the time I get the "reboot due to system error" and the "software state: safe mode" messages. rtlog.txt has no record of the reboot.
Is there any way to get LabVIEW to log any useful data when this happens?
What actions can I take to track this down (other than disabling portions of my code to see what part might be causing it)?

Connect up a display to the RT chassi to see if you get any message there.
In addition, watch your memory useage. If you run out of memory, RT will just STB.

MDD FW 400 won't boot OS 9 | System error "Unimplemented Trap" Huh?

Hey guys, I need help with a weird problem. I recently bought a MDD dual 1.25 with 1.5MG RAM, CPU Type:PowerPC G4 (3.3), Boot ROM Version: 4.4.8f2. It came with a single 60 gig drive in it with OS 10.2.6, and it used to boot directly to the OS 9 system folder just fine. I took out that drive, installed it in my old Blue & White POS, gave that to my wife and now have: a seagate 80 gig drive (originally in the B&W), as well as a 160 gig & a 200 Gig.
All three drives have 9.2.2 on their own partitions, as well as on the 2 master drives with OS 10.3.8 & 10.3.6 respectively. I can’t boot directly to 9 from any of them.
The 200 gig drive was the only one of the 3 formatted directly from within the MDD, clean install, with OS9 drivers selected on install.
When I select ANY of the OS9 partitions, even the OS9 system folders on the OSX partitions for that matter, I get:
1. a grey screen (for a little too long)
2. then a happy mac box (and the cursor appears)
3. Then an empty floppy disk icon
4. Then a “?” inside the floppy disk icon
5. finally a system 9 style “bomb box” and:
“sorry, a system error occurred. Unimplemented trap. To temporarily turn off extensions, restart and hold down the shift key” .
There is a restart button. Perhaps I should mention the error dialog is apparently blocking what appears to be the “Welcome to Mac OS 9.1” screen before the icon march.
Maybe that 9.1 means nothing, but I HAVE NO 9.1 system folders on any disks. They are all 9.2.2... Well that part just bugs me.
The issue is that when I click “restart” and hold down the shift key as directed, the same actions above 1 thru 5 happen, and I’m back at the bomb.
The only way out of the cycle is to “option restart”, and all my partitions show up EXCEPT the OS 10.3.8 partition I had begun the process from. Since I have another OSX partition on one of the disks, I can select that and boot to it no problem. I am then able to select the original OSX partition on the “main” drive, and return to square one, where the cycle began. All the OS 9 system folders can be used to “boot” classic mode, and Tech Tool, Disk Warrior, all are run regularly and report minimal issues. The machine works fine, except for this one issue.
So, why is my MDD preventing me from booting directly into OS9? I read somewhere on another thread that the boot ROM is system specific, so that might answer why the drive pulled from the B&W won’t boot to 9, but the new drive was formatted by the MDD disks, and I even tried a reinstall of OS9 to that disk in an attempt to “unstick” the system. All system 9 folders reside on master drives (so slave is not the issue).
But none of the 9.2.2 folders when selected will bring me anywhere but the bomb, apparently “TRYING” to boot OS9.
WHAT am I missing here? Any ideas?
I need my Nine!!

AJ,
Consider me dyslexic about the MDD. I don't know how
to reset the PMU on it. My beige G3 had a button on
the motherboard
there is a button on the motherboard of the G4. Location and color may vary. Usually black or red, mounted on a raised silver or black square...typically about 1/4" square
the B&W had a "programmers button" on the front faceplate
That's also known as an 'interrupt switch' With the appropriate debugger software, programmers could push that button and call up the debugger, which would allow them to trace their code and issue low level commands. Sometimes useful to break out of a crashed program without pulling the plug.
I know what I know from doing & reading and yes I have a
system folder or two that began in a 6320CD Performa
I think that was one of the machines that required a special file to boot - which is the file I cannot recall the name.
If that file still exists in your system folder, then it may be the culprit.
I'm certified dangerous because of knowledge gaps....
Aren't we all?
such as CDEVs are control panels?
CDEV is ControlDEVice, otherwise known as a control panel.
init's are mostly extensions?
Yes.
and what are TSR's?
Terminate and Stay Resident. Actually a DOS term for a program that runs, quits, but remains loaded in memory.
Apple calls them inits.
Many of the icons that appear during the OS9 boot process are functionally TSRs.
Init conflicts usually were the result of two or more of these programs fighting over the same block of ram.
It sound like you're asking me to search the system
folder for some invisible files correct?
No. The files should be visible. Since you can't yet boot to 9 (thus might not be able to get to use startup manager), I gave you the hard way to find and disable them.
Recall the OS9 startup mananager, which allows you to selectively enable and disable startup items? When you use startup manager, active items (with a check) will be in a folder named, for example, Control Panels. Inactive items, those without a check, will be in a folder named Control Panels (disabled)
To activate the startup manager at boot, hold down the spacebar. It should be the first thing to load. You can select OS9 only, none, or selectively tunr items on/off. Startup manager will automatically move items from the active to the disabled folder.
If you know the file names, you can manually move things from one folder to another, (which is the process I described)
All those files load in alphabetical order. Some of those items want to be loaded first, so the file was named with a leading space, period, or similar. ( Adobe type manager, for example)
There are a couple that are named such that they will load before startup manager.
Since your crash is almost immediate, I'm betting it's one of the first to load TSRs thats causing the problem.
The 80 gig resides in the B&W, so you're suggesting,
pulling it, installing it in the MDD & dragging the
system folder from there?
That is one method. Or mount the BW with Target disk mode and copy it across. Or copy the system folder to CD.
or if the machines are networked, copy across the network. Or USB memory stick, depending on the size of the folder.
The object is to get a known working drive with a known working/bootable OS into the new machine. Since I know my machine will not see either the 200 or 160 when boot to 9, and on some machines, 9 will not see anything over 128gb, I suggest getting a known good copy of 9 on a drive physically smaller than 128gb (not a sub 128 gb partition of a much larger drive)
Temporarily disconecting the larger drives has no purpose beyond helping eliminate the complexity during diagnostics and troubleshooting. You know they work as intended, and are not part of the problem.

HELP! How can i restore/recover files from Bootcamp with Boot Failure - Missing operating system error?

Hi,
I am having a few problems with bootcamp on my imac. When i tried to move the bootcamp partition on windows 7 into free space, it crashed and turned off. Ever since i have had the error 'Missing operating system' and it fails to boot. I have some very important files on the bootcamp partition. Is it possible to recover these files or even to restore the bootcamp partition to it's original state? I do not have a backup of my bootcamp partition. Another problem i have is that ever since i tried to expand my macintosh HD partition into free space, when i hold alt while booting up (to choose which partition to boot like i normally do), the bootcamp partition has stopped appearing. This means that i cannot even boot the windows 7 bootcamp partition anymore!
So basically here are my 2 questions:
How can i restore/recover files from Bootcamp with Boot Failure - Missing operating system error?
How can i make the Bootcamp partition appear in Startup Disk and when i hold the option key while starting up my computer to allow me to boot windows 7?
Any solutions are very much apreciated!
Thanks!
I know that bootcamp (disk0s4) hasn't been fully deleted since it appears in disk utility (i cant do anything to it though)
And here is the error i see when i try to launch bootcamp (back when i was actually able to boot up bootcamp to the error screen)

WinClone 3 is OS X and saves Windows image it makes for restore - that should work but you will have to try and you would need to make a new image unless it also works with a native Windows system restore image. It is now supported and has come a long way.
http://www.twocanoes.com/
Paragon Clone OS works and does disk-to-disk clone just like CCC you end up with two bootable drives. But does not work with your setup. It would let you clone and move your Windows install to an SSD or another disk drive though and be bootable.
During its clone process it checks for errors which is very helpful and lets you know - something CCC and others should adopt more of.
http://www.paragon-software.com/downloads/demo.html
I wish for our/my sake you had re-read and rewritten the long 'story' and broken it into a brief list of facts we needed.
OS X
Windows
Backup (though external is much safer) and you want bootable OS X clones as well as TimeMachine
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT1553
There are a number of things to do like chkdsk and others as well as Windows DVD to do automatic system repairs and find out why.
AppleHFS - the abilty to mount and read HFS volumes can be notorious.
I would rearrange and redo your storage setup and how you use the 4-5 internal hard drive bays.

Why do I get a "Fatal Run Time Error: Out of Memory" after an hour while using RT on a PXI 8186?

When I run this code with high speed DAQ+proccessing+control for over an hour in RT on an 8186, I get the above error. There were some arrays being built really quickly, etc. So I replaced these array initializations followed with "replace arrays subset" blocks. Still ,No luck.
I'd really appreciate it if anyone could help me. the code can be posted here as well if reqd.
I'm Running LV RT 7.1, and the target is a PXI-8186.
Also, is there any way of allocating extra virtual memory in RT?

Let me second everything that Aaron mentioned.
Please post some code that demostrates your trouble and we will take a look.
Gnerally I have to say that RT applications are rather demanding in the area of memory.
I find myself avoiding data types that can vary in size, like strings. These can demand increases in buffer allocations such that the buffer previously allocated are insufficient, are tossed on the heap and another larger block is allocated. Too much of this happening can kill you in RT. Building strings is bad.
Building arrays is just not allowed.
LV2 globals (when properly coded) are useful in keeping memory useage static or diminishing. This dovetails with Aarons circular buffer.
Review all code that is executed repeatedly using
Tools >>> Advanced >>> Show Buffer Allocations
In a nutshell, one or more of thes is killing you.
Post your code so we can make specific suggestions.
Trying to help,
Ben

System Error on Boot

I have recently moved to BT. I have a home hub3, which I installed using the CD provided. Everything seems to be working correctly but whenever I boot my computer since the installation, I get a system error warning "A Duplicate name exists on the Network". I have checked my network connections on the control panel and there are only the wireless and Lan (I am using the wireless). On the BT Broadband Desktop Help, I have checked my network and for some reason, all my USB devices are duplicated. Since there is no obvious way of removing any of them, I have tried renaming one of each but this has had no effect. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I would not bother installing Desktop help, as it usually not a lot of help, and may add to any further problems.
Somehow you must have ended up with two devices with the same name. That is not allowed, hence the error message.
At least its sorted now
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

New MacMini - System Error on Initial Boot

I just bought a new Mac Mini 2.5Ghz/Core 2 i5/500GB HDD and instead of initial boot up with stock Mavericks install I cloned my existing Mavericks partition fromm previous MacMini to new HDD but I get a system error message on boot up. I can run the old Mavericks install from the external drive attached to the new Mac Mini just fine but can't boot from the internal drive. I am trying now to do a virgin install of Mavericks downloaded from the app store but where is it written you must do the inital boot of a new machine from the installed OS? Don't understand why a clone of Mavericks doesn't work.

Reinstalling Mavericks worked. Problem solved.

Boot Camp STOP: c000021a {Fatal System Error}

I was restarting my Mac Pro using Bootcamp and the following blue screen message displays:
Boot Camp STOP: c000021a {Fatal System Error}
The Windows Logon Process system process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0x0000135 (0x00000000 0x00000000).
The system has been shut down.
I am running Lion and Windows XP - I have been using this setup successfully for months.
I have tried putting both the Windows XP disc and the OSX disc (Snow Leopard - upgraded to Lion from an App download) in the drive, holding down the 'c' key (to allow the machine to boot from the dvd drive) but it just goes to a black screen and switches off.
Any help to boot up my MacPro would be very much appreciated - I would be happy just to boot it up normally without Windows.
Thanks,
May

Upgrade to Windows 7 (or 8) is really a good idea if you want support, security, better use of resources.
You restarted into Windows (*Boot Camp does not run - anything)
Lion does not support XP but that just means you had it before.
No idea but I can't tell if XP And Lion are on the same hard drive (they should not if possible).
You should make bootable backups of your OS (both).
Pull your hard drives.
Boot into Lion Recovery.
Maybe you have a virus or hardware issue, it is impossible to know.

CCC or Disk Utility to clone a Mac HD of one new iMac to another, over ThunderBolt, we are getting I/O errors. Even though the clone fails, the destination system does boot and log in, however, the logins take a very very very long time.

When using CCC (Carbon Cophy Cloner) or Disk Utility to clone a Mac HD of one new iMac to another, over ThunderBolt, we are getting I/O errors. Even though the clone fails, the destination system does boot and log in, however, the logins take a very very very long time.
Thoughts.
Edit: Already ran Disk Utility. Also reinstalled a fresh OS on top of the cloned OS and it seemed to remedy the problem. Then, cloned to next machine in the row of the lab. Same problem.

OK, by that I assume that you used Disk Utility to repair the subject disk and it reported "The volume (name) appears to be OK" in green.
Also verify you followed the instructions here: http://help.bombich.com/kb/usage-scenarios/i-want-to-clone-my-entire-hard-drive- to-a-new-hard-drive-or-a-new-machine
If so, the Thunderbolt connection begins to look suspicious.
Reinstalling OS X subsequent to the "clone" operation may be an acceptable workaround but you should not have had the I/O errors you describe, nor should the login times (subsequent to the initial login, that is) be unacceptably long. It calls into question the integrity of all the information that was transferrred.
I'll try to attract the attention of a CCC expert who will likely provide more competent assistance. You can also try the Bombich support site: http://help.bombich.com

When I boot in safe or regular mode, I get this on my Macbook Pro with upgraded Mavrick System Unapproved caller. SecurityAgentmay only be invoked by Apple software. I can't boot my computer.

Unapproved caller. SecurityAgentmay only be invoked by Apple software. I just upgraded to Maverick and now I can't boot in regular or safe mode on my Macbook Pro.

I suggest you call Apple Care. However, the following is the BEST I can remember what I did as intructed by Apple Tech Support. I have a Time Machine Backup external hard drive.
Turn off computer
Turn on and @ first sign of life, press and hold the Option button
Follow the directions:
Click: Repair disk
Click: Repair Disk permissions
Get out of the section then pick the reinstall
Option reinstall
If that did not work: it did not for mine:
Do the same as above and click erase disk. If you have a Time Machine Back up, you can return you Mac back into working order w/your applications software, i.e. Word: mac 2008, Skype, etc.
Unplug you external hard drive to eliminate any possible confusion.
After an erase disk when starting like above (hold option button down while booting) and doing a total install,
Plug in your external drive with you Time Machine backups.
Only check applications and only users. Uncheck other files… and computer …
http://www.bing.com/search?q=macbook+migration&pc=MOZI&form=MOZSBR
After I did this, my computer went back to normal. Takes about a day. Good luck. It isn't easy and there are no short cuts I know of but better than having to find an Apple Store or shipping your Mac in for a repair.

Problem connecting to Realtime system to download or run in debug mode

I have updated my LabWindows\CVI to 2013. I have a PXI system with a PXIe-8101 controller. The PXIe-controller has a real-time OS installed. I have been programming this system for a while now so I am not exactly a novice anymore. The first time I tried to install the program to my real-time target I got a message which said "LabWindows/CVI cannot connect to the real-time target." It also said " .... The version of the LabWindows/CVI Run-Time Engine for RT must be compatible with the version of the LabWindows/CVI development environment."
So I figured that was the problem. My next step was to go into MAX and sure enough was getting all sorts of flags and errors when I used the real-time software Wizard in MAX by right clicking on the Remote software and clicking on Add/Remove Software. And like I suspected there were several flags indicating a software differences. My next step was to update the software in my real-time target to resolve the problem. After I did that I compiled the code and installed it on my remote system. Everything seemed OK.
The following Monday I restarted LabWindows/CVI and made a couple of changes and tried to build and install to my real-time target. I get that same message as in the first paragraph. So I thought I might not have real-time system booted up correctly or something like that so I checked all of that and it looked OK. Next I opened up MAX and it could see my real-time target just fine.
When I had my LabWindows/CVI 2012 I did not have this problem. I think maybe there is some incompatibliity issues with my LabWindows 2013; has anyone had a similar problem? I am able to get around the problem by building the release version and copying it to the PXI with CuteFTP V9.0 but I cannot do run my program in debug mode with my LabWindows/CVI and if you may have noticed I have other problems which is in another post I put in next week. I am hoping the problems are connected and I can kill two birds with one stone LOL.
I appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks,
Don Pearce

Hello,
I want to make sure I'm understanding what you are doing in the LabVIEW project. According to the Getting Started with the LabWindows /CVI Real-Time Module manual, these are the steps to install software on the RT target:
1. Launch MAX.
2. Find and expand your RT target under the Remote Systems item in the MAX configuration tree, right-click Software, and select Add/Remove Software. When you select Add/Remove Software, MAX launches the LabVIEW Real-Time Software Wizard. This displays all the National Instruments software and drivers installed on the host computer that you can install on a selected RT target.
3. Select the software you want to install on the RT target, click the icon next to the software, and select Install the feature.
You need to install LabWindows/CVI Run-Time Engine for RT to add support for LabWindows/CVI RT applications on the RT target. This component is required for all LabWindows/CVI RT applications.
The forum post here solved this same issue by installing missing drivers based on this KnowledgeBase article.
Also, LabWindows/CVI 2013 SP1 has been released. Service Pack 1 (SP1) has many useful bug fixes (listed here), so I recommend upgrading to LabWindows/CVI 2013 SP1 if possible.

G770 won't boot normally or in safe mode... I suspect it has something to do with the boot optimizer

My Lenovo G770 will not boot in normal or safe mode. I usually escape out of the boot optimizer. Today I let it run and it went to the "starting windows" screen with a brief startup of the windows 7 animation...it freezes for a second, then a quick flash of the bsod, then to the "windows error recovery page" giving me the option of "starting windows normally" or "Launch Startup Repair (recommended)."
Starting Windows Normally eventually brings me back to the same place repeating what I just stated above paragraph.
When I launch the Startup Repair it "Cannot repair this computer automatically".
So I go to view advanced options for system recovery and support.
It brings me to 5 options:
Startup Repair (we already tried this above)
System Restore (unfortunately I didn't create any restore points)
System Image Recovery (unfortunately I haven't created an image to recover)
Windows Memory Diagnostic (no problems found-done several times)
Command Prompt (don't know what I can do here except for remove a bad/corrupted driver which may be the problem, but I don't know the driver name that is associated with the boot optimizer...can anyone tell me this?)
I've tried booting to safe mode in all of its incarnations and I can't even do that..it repeats the same things as stated above...windows 7 animation briefly starts then locks up, flash of bsod, then the windows error recovery page.
I've tried booting to last known good configuration (same thing occurs...brief startup of windows 7 animation, freeze, flash of bsod, then error recovery page.
The only thing that has given me any kind of result was "disabling system restart on system failure." When I do this, the BSOD doesn't flash briefly..it stays. and it gives me the error message page_fault_in_nonpaged_area.
I'm at a loss as to what to do. Not being able to boot into Safe Mode even is really frustrating. Any advice from anyone? can I remove the driver associated with the boot optimizer? If so, what is the name of the driver and where (directory) is it located?

How did you resolve the issue?
I have the exactly same issue.
When I go System Image Recovery -->Select System Image-->Advanced->I can open all the drives [:Local Drive(C , LENOVO(D, Local Disk(E, Boot(X-where i think executable booting is here]. It comes with an Open prompt asking me to enter File Name with a File type: Setup Information.
I don't know which setup information and where to find it on my Drives.
Anyone know how to fix?

My MacBook Core 2 Duo will not boot up. In safe mode I see keychain problems and Mach 1102.

My MacBook Core 2 Duo will not boot up. In safe mode I see keychain problems and Mach 1102 and it keeps circling through the same error. Also the screen is so faint (pressing the F1 and F2 keys don't do anything). I got this from a friend and he didn't have any of the original discs. Any suggestions? From what I've read it's a problem with a recent update. I've never had a Mac so I'm trying to learn and fix it.

I just had an issue like this. I was able to boot up with an external firewire drive, although it was a lot of trouble. I think doing an option boot finally worked; holding down the option key, I eventually got to see the firewire drive was bootable, and booted from it.
I put the thing in verbose boot mode (command - v , I think; but please look it up. I have no Mac books at work to check). In verbose mode, you could see that the hard drive could not mount; the OS tried to do fsck, but it failed around 2/3 of the way, and the CPU was halted.
I was occasionally able to boot normally, but never in safe or single user modes; these do a disk test first, which invariably failed.
I could see from the system and console logs when I managed to get the firewire boot going that there were repeated errors trying to access drive s03, the internal SATA drive. The logs on the SATA drive showed huges numbers of errors. At a wild guess, for some reason a lot of sectors went bad all at once. There had been a some erratic behavior before, but I'd put that down to the single processor G5 problems. (these were non video related, just freezes).
Applecare wanted me to carry the huge thing into the local Apple store, but I persuaded them to just send me a replacment hard drive, which they did. The new one works perfectly.
