<Error> memory->claim failed!

[MasterMagic]

I need someont to help me interpret an unusal error. Seems like a memory issue but I'm unsure what the exact conflict is.

[CPU/CPU] execution started at 06601e10
[IO/PROM] <warning> 05800000 in use!
[IO/PROM] <Error> memory->claim failed!

Steps I've taken so far.
I've tried 2 different versions of pear PC
I've tried both, the 3 and 6 gig image
I've reimaged the CD twice, once using Nero and again using Roxio

Could anyone shed some light?

Post your config file please.

[bot47]

Look like you have changed the memory_size parameter to something greater than 2 GiB. Change it to something lower.

[MasterMagic]

Actually I don't know how to configure that variable because the number makes very little sense to me. Here is my config file that came with the build. I've modified the NIC and bootup images.

Oh, one other irrelvant piece of information. This only happens when I boot from CD. When I boot from HD I get

[IO/PROM] <Error> can't open boot file

I suspect that it because OSX isn't yet installed, but just incase I'm wrong...

##
## Start Resolution
##
## (clients that use video.x can change the resolution at runtime,
## so this would be used only for starting up)
##
## format: "(width)x(height)x(depth)"
## or "(width)x(height)x(depth)@(frequency)"
##
## depth can only be 15 or 32

## Set this to non-zero for turning on fullscreen mode on startup.
##

ppc_start_full_screen = 0

##
## Redraw interval (in ms)
## must be between 10 and 500
##
## If you set this higher, PearPC will spend less time doing redraws
## (and so run faster) but feel less responsive. You should adjust
## this to your computer speed and personal preference.

## Loader

##
## Boot method
## this can be
## 1. "auto", prom will boot the first bootable partition found (default)
## 2. "select", prom will show you a list of bootable partitions
## 3. "force", prom will load and boot the local file prom_loadfile

## Example of how to use "force":

#prom_bootmethod = "force"
#prom_loadfile = "test/yaboot"
#prom_env_bootpath = "disk"

##
## bootargs: don't change unless you know what you are doing

Oh, and I turned of vobose mode. I walkthrough suggested it. Either way I get the same errors

[MasterMagic]

I got to thinking, the OS Disk's I'm using are for the Mac Intel. My GF just bought a Mac Intel and One of the reason's I'm getting excitted about running pear PC is because I want to be able to discuss Mac with her. I didn't think about the incompatability. Is pear PC compatible with the new intel series of software?

[CannotResolveSymbol]

I wouldn't think they would be, but if you got through the install and you're seeing something in the verbose boot, then they must be.

[Guru3]

PearPC is a PowerPC emulator. Emphasis on PowerPC. As may or may not be known, they are competing platforms. Result: Intel OSX (aka OSX86) is not compatible with PearPC.

hi fellows

i have the same problem and i cannot get over on it....

i have the mac osx tiger 10.4.4, and i have already created the image /iso/ which is okay its bootable...
however it's only bootable in ppc 0.4. other ppc releases like 0.2,0.3 it wont find any bootable things

so the image is ok ppc is running but i always got 2 error messages
1st
CPU/CPU] execution started at 06601e10
[IO/PROM] <Warning> 05800000 in use!
[IO/PROM] <Error> memory->claim failed!

2nd if i decrease the memory under 70
cannot find boot file.


if im increase my memory all the way up i'll still receive the 1st error

my config file:
