[MiNT] 1.16.0 still (x3) no go

[Jim DeClercq <jimd@panix.com>]

Hello, all

I have gotten some suggestions off line, for which I am grateful, but 
still so far no go.

It is not the monitor I use, and 1.15.12 works just fine. I enclose a task 
list of sorts, and the underlying commonality is that 1.16.0 does not 
load, and I cannot enter the load menu to change anything by holding down 
the shift button. So I cannot turn memory protection off.

As to a bad serial chip, I am using Serial2 for a modem port, and that 
works OK, 115200 to a Supra Express 56sp modem. It is still an SCC chip. 
Have a ESCC and socket, and will someday do that.

1. With HDDriver 8.03, and a TTM195 monitor, Mint000.prg, with all accs 
and auto folder stuff and Mint folder stuff active, same crash point.

2. Mint030.prg, as above, same crash point, tried to and failed to enter 
the setup menu.

3. Mint030.prg, all accs, auto and mint folder off, could not enter menu, 
same crash point.

4. Thought my PCT 1426 was dead. No, dim in here, power switch is in the 
front, and cannot turn on power with the scan select switch.

5. IBM PS2 Momo VGA, Mint030.prg, everything, as above, turned off, same 
crash point, could not enter menu. Comes up in ST Low, if that makes a 
difference, and I did not change resolution and save the desktop. If that 
should make a difference, tell me and I will try again.

6. 1.15.12, from EasyMint, loaded and ran in ST Low.

7. MAG DJ 530 vga monitor, very nice display, was used for a DynaCAD 
setup, everything else turned off, 1.16.0 030, no enter menu, same crash 
point.

8. PCT 1426, everything off, cannot enter menu, same crash point.

All this done while stumbling over parts of a Philips CDD 522 CD writer, 
which seems to have lost its power supply.

1.15.12, with all of my bells and whistles loaded, loads and runs very 
satisfactorily, except for that tcp_sendsegment bug, and is how I am doing 
this.

Searched, and I do have a copy of Thomas Tempelmon's monitor program, on a 
ZIP disk with a Megamax compiler. Will load that next, and see where that 
buss error call is calling.

One quick question. I mentioned a kernel file length. Is that what is 
running on other TTs?
