  • 1.  General Protection Fault with GSS 2.0

    Posted Apr 18, 2007 03:16 PM
    When creating standard or network boot disk and try to boot with the second disk which has the ghost.exe on it, we keep getting a general protection fault error: It will not pull up the ghost.
     

    General Protection Fault at eip=214; flags=3290

    Eax=ffde8100 ebx=f47e0000 ecx=00000007 edx=fff4fb69 esi=004b6610 edi=0016799f

    Ebp-ffde81ca esp=00003ffc cs=af ds=b7 fs=a7 gs=0 ss=a7 error=0000

     

    These are with the Gateway 6610 series computers only. This does not happen with other models we have found. If we try to use the ghost 8.0 it still will not boot on this 6610. It just sits there. We can't image our machines until this is corrected because we can't boot with even a standard boot disk. Please advise.

    Hi,
     
    Difficult to say for sure, but this could be due to a read error in floppy (since floppy drives are not used much, and Ghost boot disks are almost full), is it possible to run Ghost from a CD?
     
    Or, could you try creating a drive mapping boot disk and load Ghost from a network share?

    Sorry to dig up an age-old thread, but it IS the first hit in google, and it was the first page I visited.

    I got the same error, and what had happened to me was that the executable "ghost.exe" had become corrupted (or something to that extent) and when I replaced it with a fresh copy everything started working again.

    This is probably not the solve-it-all solution, but trying it probably won't hurt.

    Hi erki,

    Yes, usually it happens when Ghost.exe is corrupted rather than other files. Probably it would have copied correctly next time. There are other reasons to crash Ghost in this way, but if you are using floppies, the first thing to check is for floppy errors.

    Ok, any clue on this error?
    Boot disks run on any other machine...swapped out ghost.exe's etc...
    Can get past this once in a while then goes to incorrect command.com error.  Which i have swapped out and replaced etc..
    I have been ghosting for about 8 years now and never had this is error.
