Sometimes when a program crashes the machine, I do not get any GURU message. Instead, I am faced with a blank screen that just sits there. (I think it is white or greenish... I forget.) So, I press CTRL-AMIGA-AMIGA and the red LED blinks a bit as usual. Then the Amiga just sits there for a few seconds, and finally I get the Kickstart picture on the screen. Before you ask... YES, I am using c:SetPatch as the first instruction in my startup-sequence. My configuration: A1000 with 512K, 2 floppies, 2Meg StarboardII, 50-meg C.Ltd. hard drive running SCSIDOS 3.0. I use ConMan 1.3, Rez, DMouse 1.10, RAD: with FFS, and a few scattered ARP commands (*not* "Mount"). This configuration does NOT exhibit the problem when running Kickstart 1.2. I also use "KFont" to replace my Kickstart Topaz font, but I already had this problem before I started using KFont. Any help appreciated!
