I've tried several times to install OpenVMS 7.3 into a recently-built copy of the MicroVAX emulator and each time my system has frozen up completely. After a few hard crashes of this sort, I decided to try an experiment: I started the install process and then pulled up the Linux error console. Sure enough, right as the system froze up, a kernel "oops" appears that states something to the effect of "The ATA driver has crashed and brought down the system" Given that I can do other disk-intensive tasks like running disk benchmarks, imaging CD media and playing long video files, it would appear that this is a software error rather than a hardware one. Any suggestions here?
PS: I'm running OpenSuse 11.2 on an old AMD Athlon XP 3000+ with 1 GB of RAM if that's useful to anyone. _______________________________________________ Simh mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh
