Software Fault message on OSX

[aque]

Used the alpha 6 DMG running on Mavericks. I only have one router (c7200) in the project. I went through the idle-pc process but all other router settings are default.

I started R1, went into the console and verified I got the prompt. I then stopped and started R1 (not reload), and got the message when I went back to the console. Subsequent reboots gets the same message.

I had the release version of GNS3 in the /Applications folder and I replaced it with the alpha.

This is my first report so let me know if you need additional information.

EDIT: forgot to mention that I'm running alpha 6.

What idle-pc value did you used?

[aque]

I am running alpha 7 now with the same results. Idle-pc is set to 0x606dd0b0. The first boot works if it is immediately after dragging the router to the topology map. CPU utilization is around 5.3% on this idle-pc. But, once I stop/start or reload it, I get the error message.

I reloaded 0.8.6 and used the same image and the same idle-pc settings. I was able to stop/start or reload with no issues. I then loaded the image on an i386 Linux VM running alpha 7 server and dynamips 0.2.13-dev-x86/Linux stable, used 0x606dc59c for my idle-pc (0x606dd0b0 was not an option), and set the gui for remote hypervisor. This worked as well.

If it helps, the md5sum of the image is "2b93c115ac49b74b4e29b66abad63f21 c7200-adventerprisek9-mz.124-24_unZ.BIN". Let me know if you need anything else.

The issue is related to a bug found in Dynamips a few weeks ago. Setting the NPE to npe-400 (the default in alpha7) with a RAM value over 256MB prevented c7200 routers to be reloaded without crashing. Beta 2 will integrate the version of Dynamips fixing this problem.
