RSX normally have the stack in rather low addresses. Wonder if it's related to the tape controller that isn't actually technically present. I would not think so. If you have a device driver for something that there is no hardware for, the device should just become offline. Not sure exactly what you configured, but maybe something wrong in all your answers... :-) I'll grab the log when back at my desk. That could help. :-) After reboot: boo [1.54]rsx11m MCR -- Task not in system ins $boo boo [1,54]rsx11,\,\m [no output] I seem to be TERRIBLE and SYSGEN. Well, since the initial boot failed, any subsequent boots of that image I would expect to fail equally bad. It could have been unclean memory at some random address. This system also tends to randomly crash on first-time boots, too sometimes. A couple halts and it usually works then. What garbage that might be left in memory should not be a problem. Memory always have content... Johnny
