- It may be software or hardware:
- software-case: Does it crash even on a "clean" system, i.e. with only
- on it, too? If not, there might be a tool or patch that
- has problems with 3.1 that for some odd reason don't show
- up on an A2000.
- hardware-case: What RAM configuration do you use? Did you mess around with
- RAM-speed jumpers or Ramsey settings? Did you intermix
- Page-Mode and Static-Column DRAM? OS3.1 handles initialization
- of Ramsey (for DRAM) different from OS2.x and likely breaks if
- the configuration is invalid.
- Do you overclock your board/the CPU?
- OS3.1 scsi.device is much more sensible to an improper
- configured SCSI-bus than OS2.x was, do you have correct
- termination and cabling?
-
- Does any of the above apply to you?
-
- Ciao, Klaus.
