Hi,
It sounds like it is having a Bus and Memory Management Unit problem,
according to this from princeton":
Bus Error
A bus error is issued to the processor when it references a location that
cannot be accessed.
* MMU: (Memory Management Unit: can be hardware or software, but frequently
are system board problems.)
