The bad track might be choking the player even if you quickly go to tuner mode. You might want to check out Paul's link just in case to eliminate it.

thinking of this: is it possible that a bad track gets the player to reboot even if it's not the track actually playing? If so I could erase everything and reload artist by artist and checking if it works with every track and maybe that way I find a bad track?

But what remains are the "memory violation" messages I get while the player is booting.

Quote:
From that command line, can you try a "player -i" command? The memory violation error is something I would expect if the player application hits a bad track. Or (almost) anything else bad, for that matter.

Yes, the "./player -i" comand is in there somewhere; I should have shortened the text a little..

I think I should shoot a 5 min movie of the empeg to show the problem, it's kinda bizarre...

ftp your.players.ip.address
cd /empeg/var
get config.ini
quit

<<edit the file on your pc>>

ftp your.players.ip.address
cd /empeg/var
site rw
put config.ini
site ro
quit

Quote:
Either comment-out or remove the ;@EXEC and ;@EXEC_INCE lines in the config.ini file and then try again. You can use Hijack FTP to access the file, even with the player crashing away in the background.


Eg. Something vaguely like this sequence:Code:

---

ftp your.players.ip.address
cd /empeg/var
get config.ini
quit

<<edit the file on your pc>>

ftp your.players.ip.address
cd /empeg/var
site rw
put config.ini
site ro
quit

It won't be the solder joints, so leave the board alone!

Next step, if you have not tried it yet: Actually, this should have been the first thing to try:

Connect to the player's serial port, hit "control C" to get a shell prompt (developer s/w required -- upgrade if necessary), and the do "player -i".

-ml

Quote:
Those "bridge" solder joints are likely to be correct. The pins are simply connected to each other via a track on the board. Because of this, when they are reflowed, the solder easily flows and bridges the two pins.

Because this makes visual inspection difficult, we try not to do this and instead run a small loop out of one pad into the other rather than straight between them.

I agree with Mark, not your problem.

Quote:
What version of player software is this?

If it is not v2final or v2.01final, then reinstall one of those two. Actually, just *do it* anyway. This will fix any corrupted binaries that might be the problem here. The log messages indicate that /bin/sh is failing, due to lack of memory or corruption (bad bits) in the file itself. I think the latter is extremely unlikely though, so it's almost certainly lack of memory.

This is a Mk2 unit, with only 12MB, NOT ENOUGH for any of the v3alpha releases to run reliably on. So.. (re)install v2final or v2.01final on it.

If *that* then fails, it's time for the disk builder software to blow everything away. But I think that should never be necessary, and in the past has nearly always proven a waste of time.

Cheers

Quote:
Hi,
could a bad header produce this error?

Quote:
I just meant that it wouldn't be solder-bridges and the like.

Since all else seems well, I suppose the good old most common failure mode for this product could easily be the culprit -- bad IDE header solder job?

-ml

Quote:
what can I do in this case? Re-heat the solder joints for the header?

Quote:
I think I can exclude the cable as a problem at this point, as I get the same problems no matter on which connector I connect the hard drive; is this correct?

Quote:
The standard solution to this problem, during the days of official support was as follows:

- Weird behaviour, lockups, stuftering or distorted sound: data path failure.

- First inspect serial boot log. CS4231A recognised and initialised OK?If yes, keep reading. If not, probable chip failure.

Quote:

- second, crimp/change cable. If you have the grey with pink stripe original cable, this can be crimped successfully if you do it properly. If you are unsure, change cable to later grey/charcoal stripe. If you have grey/charcoal, you cannot sucessfully crimp it without destroying it. Improvement? If no, keep reading.

Got a new cable from Eutronix, but still the same behavior.

Quote:

- third, case open, drives out. Inspect the IDE header, especially if you have a 2A/RioCar as this was the model it happened most frequently on. If you have a Mk2, it is unlikely, but not impossible, that this was the case.

Quote:

If all this is OK and the player is in trouble, then it's the data on the disk, ie. YOUR MUSIC.
