Hi, I just put cache and extra VRAM in my 7200 and it was running much faster so I decided to upgrade it to OS9. It installs happily and for the first few times it restarts OK but after a short while it gives me bomb errors on startup "Couldn't load CDEF" "bus error" "An error of type 10 occurred"

In all these cases, restarting with shift held down does not work.

I can happily boot into 8.0 and 7.5.5 on other volumes, and I can always boot off the OS9 CD-ROM I'm using (actually an iMac install CD) but not off the volume I wanted to use as my startup disk.

Does anyone have a suggestion? Google can't tell me anything meaningful about what "Couldn't load CDEF" means or about any of the other error codes in my situation. Should I run 9.1 instead of 9.0? I didn't do any 3rd party software installs e.g. Micro$oft Office. Or is the problem with my iMac install CD itself? I used it successfully on my 5500 without this problem occurring though.
