I installed system 6.0.7 on my ci a last night. Since then, I
have had lots (20+) of crashes. That is compared to almost no crashes
since putting up 6.0.5 over a month ago. Yes it could be some of the
INITs I have, but after going back to 0.5 I could not recreate any of
the crashes that occured before.
If I were you, I would think twice about putting 0.7 onto a ci !

I've had 6.0.7 on my IIci (with 2 rows of INITs) for over a week now with no adverse side effects. I guess it depends what software and inits you use. -- Steve Martin USENET: {ctvax,im4u,texsun,rice}!ti-csl!martin The opinions in this ARPANET: SMARTIN@CSC.TI.COM COMPUSERVE: 72727,1471 article are my own.

I had crashes just after installing 6.0.7 on my ci, but then remembered to increase finder MF allocation, printmonitor MF allocation, and heap. All is better now. --mikek internet: mikek@boulder.colorado.edu uucp:{ncar|nbires}!boulder!mikek AppleLink: oblio

I guess it depends what software and }inits you use. For what it's worth, I've been working on a IIci (along with four other people who are all) using 6.0.7, with various inits. Sounds like you're going to have to do some init disabling to figure out what is the problem. Also check and make sure that you're using the LATEST versions of all of your inits and your applications. Good luck (I know it's frustrating!). -- ----- Steve Lemke, Engineering Quality Assurance, Radius Inc., San Jose ----- ----- Reply to: lemke@radius.com (Note: NEW domain-style address!!) -----

Hiya, Thanks for the comment, but I had also upped the finder allocation and the system heap size (I do not use Print Monitor). maurice -- Maurice Sharp MSc.

I've noticed many complaints of crashes with recent (and not so) sytem versions. I've had similiar probs. w/ my FX & 6.0.5 The obvious reasons are init conflict that have to be tracked down in a trial & error method. I think we all agree this is rather foolish. The ques. is, will 7.0 have any acknowledgement of these probs. and somehow try to incorporate an init manager?

If you hold down all the modifier keys during the boot, the system automatically disables ALL INITs, and says "Extensions Disabled" on the Welcome to Macintosh screen. That way, if you have crashes on boot, you can at least boot up without a spare startup disk. -- Mark -- ******* "Freedom is a road seldom traveled by the multitude!" ********** *-----------------------------------------------------------------------------* * Mark R.
