Guru codes
From Amiga Coding
The gurus are divided into two kinds:
- Software failures
- System software failures
Software failures
Software failure. Press left mouse button to continue.
Guru Meditation #00000003.000027D2
Trap numbers
| 2 | Bus error(hardware) |
| 3 | Adress error(word access on odd byte boundary - frequent!) |
| 4 | Illegal instruction |
| 5 | Divide by zero |
| 6 | CHK instruction |
| 7 | TRAPV instruction |
| 8 | Privelege violation |
| 9 | Trace |
| A | Opcode 1010 emulation |
| B | Opcode 1111 emulation |
| 20-2F | TRAP instruction |
System software failures
Not enough memory. Press left mouse button to continue.
Guru Meditation #02010009.0007D6B8
Here it`s different. The first number is divided into three parts:
A, B, and C. A is the two first bytes, B is the next two
bytes, and finally C is the four last bytes.
A(affected part of the system-software)
| 1 | Exec library |
| 2 | Graphics library |
| 3 | Layers library |
| 4 | Intuition library |
| 5 | Maths library |
| 6 | Clist library |
| 7 | AmigaDOS library |
| 8 | RAM Handler library |
| 9 | Icons library |
| 10 | Audio device |
| 11 | Console device |
| 12 | Game-port device |
| 13 | Keyboard device |
| 14 | Trackdisk device |
| 15 | Timer device |
| 20 | CIA resource |
| 21 | Disk resource |
| 22 | Misc resource |
| 30 | Bootstrap |
| 31 | Workbench |
B(general cause)
| 1 | No memory |
| 2 | Unable to creat library |
| 3 | Unable to open library |
| 4 | Unable to open device |
| 5 | Unable to open resource |
| 6 | Input/Output error |
Part C is viewable in the Exec.library-instruction alert. This allocates more specific where in the system-software-part the problem is.
The numbers after the dot is the adress in the memory where the failure appeared.
