Richard, Thanks for the information.
I hadn't considered that a different brand of card would make a difference. CompUSA had 128 MB SanDisk (a pretty reliable brand) CF cards for $39.95 after rebate, so I bought one. I guess I can use it in my digital camera if it won't work as a boot disk. I might check at newegg.com and see what deals they are running on CF cards. As for extensions, I get the same Bus Error with extensions on or off. I've even pared down the extensions folder to just a few, but stil get the error - and all Apple extensions, no 3rd party stuff. No extension shows as loading prior to the Bus Error, but I guess I could Symbionts (sp?) to see if something is loading prior to the Bus Error.
