We have a Mac II fx here with 32 Mega Bytes of RAM installed. A/UX 2.0 is installed on a 80 Mega Bytes Disk. The Mac II fx crashes when launching A/UX. (It works on another Mac II fx with 8 Mega bytes of RAM). Anybody has an idea ?

Is it one of those National Semiconductor goody-goody large RAM NuBus cards (I hope I had one...)? Anyway they require a special driver for working under A/UX, and if you have A/UX 1.1 drivers installed for A/UX 2.0(.1), it won't work, you need the 2.0 drivers. Just speculations.

No, but it's either bad hardware or bad software. :-) (or bad karma...) Seriously- if it's bad software, a re-install will fix it. Then again, if the disk is bad, an fsck on the root partition from sash should either fix it, or at least let you know where the problem lies. There's an easy way to test for bad RAM. one of the kconfig parameters tells A/UX how much physical memory to use. Try setting it to 8MB or so and see if you can boot that way. (From sash, type 'kconfig -av' to get an annotated listing of kconfig params.) --- Alexis Rosen Owner/Sysadmin, PANIX Public Access Unix, NY {cmcl2,apple}!panix!alexis
