Non-bootable PC after using ASPI via Wine

johne53 · Post by **johne53** » Thu May 01, 2008 10:34 am

Many years ago I wrote a Windows program that needs a SCSI card. It addresses the SCSI card using ASPI. Unfortunately, when I run the app under Wine, I see some errors (all beginning with 'fixme:') which suggest that ASPI isn't yet fully implemented (and as such, the app doesn't work properly). However - much more worrying is the fact that after running this app I end up with a non-bootable system.

If I recover from this and try again, the same thing happens every time I run the app. It's 100% repeatable. If I comment out the lines that try to load the ASPI drivers, the problem goes away (although the app still doesn't work properly, of course).

Here's the output I see after trying to launch my app from a command line:-

I just wondered if that output might make sense to anyone here? I don't understand at all why my PC refuses to re-boot after the above errors....

Are you running as root?

No. But wine shouldn't be able to lock up your system like that...What
version of wine? Is this program downloadable anywhere?

johne53 · Post by **johne53** » Thu May 01, 2008 11:13 am

I downloaded it by following these instructions: http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb about 2 days ago.

My own program can be downloaded here:-

http://www.avtoolkit.co.uk/downloaddemo.html

If you enter an email address and the access code OR1503

However, if you haven't got a SCSI card you might be wasting your time. Also, I'd strongly urge you not to try this unless you know how to recover from an unbootable PC.

That's what VMs are for

. Yeah, won't do much without SCSI...

Please file a bug at http://bugs.winehq.org. It would be very helpful
if you could write a small testcase program that triggers the bug, and
attach the source and binary to the bug.

The fact that the app itself doesn't work, however, is a wine bug

Just out of interest, did either of you manage (or even dare!) to reproduce it? It seems to overwrite the MBR from what I can tell (at least, I had to repair the MBR to get a bootable machine back).

I tried in the vm, still booted fine.

Here's an odd one that I had recently - I was using Exact Audio Copy
[*] with ASPI, and recently this stopped working (I have the page 0
bug). I switched to 'native 2000/XP interface' and it's fine now, at
least ripping new CDs

I have no idea if this may be related at
all, but the mention of "ASPI" in your message caught my eye ...

[*] Anything can rip a new CD, but in my experience EAC and
libparanoia each do a decent job on different scratched-up CDs. I
haven't tried EAC on a scratched CD on the native 2000/XP interface
...

- d.

Austin - out of interest, do you see the same ASPI error messages? (in other words, does it get as far as attempting to load ASPI on your system?)

Right, so it's not a Wine bug. It's some system bug that Wine triggers.

That might of course depend on whether his disk is SATA (which is
basically SCSI as far as userspace is concerned) and whether his user
has write permissions to the device...

Indeed. Users generally don't have write permission to the hard drive
on Linux, I think, so that would either be an unusual setup,
or a buggy one somehow.

johne53 · Post by **johne53** » Thu May 01, 2008 4:15 pm

The disk was actually a SCSI disk, connected by an Adaptec SCSI card (this is why I asked Austin if he saw the same ASPI error messages - you might not get them if there's no SCSI card present.)

Interesting - your errors are subtlely different from mine.

Okay, there's an extra stage you might need to try. Inside the 'Utilities' folder you'll find an application called ASPI32.exe. This is a standard Adaptec utility for installing ASPI drivers. When I tried running it on my machine, ASPI32.exe told me that there was no SCSI adapter found (even though I do have one).

Unfortunately, I hadn't tried running my own app before I ran ASPI32.exe (so I don't know what errors I'd have seen if I'd never tried installing ASPI32). Maybe you could try running ASPI32.exe and see if your error messages then match mine.

It's possible that the problem could be with ASPI32.exe, rather than Linux or Wine.

I see the same...Well, it tells me no qualifying adaptec products, but
I have a feeling they mean no SCSI devices.
