System 7 Crash on FX

[p...@macpkh.meediv.lanl.gov]

I loaded System 7.0 on my MAC FX and I had to go back to 6.0.5...
A REAL PAIN.....
After installing System 7 on my FX and upon reboot I would get the
BOMB window and I got a message that said "BUS ERROR - RESTART and
hold down the shift key to disable SYS EXTENSIONS. Well I did what
the message said and I would get the same bomb upon reboot. I then
took everything out of the System folder and reloaded 7.0 and still
the same message upon reboot. Does not look good.

Does anyone have a clue as to what might be happening???????

Thanks, Pete Haase

Pete, I have an fx that is working just fine with System 7. You may
have an incompatible driver for your hard drive, or a NuBus card that
isn't System 7 compatible. What NuBus boards do you have, what kind
of hard drive, and what driver do you use to format your hard drive?

This sounds very similar to a problem I was having this morning. I used the
800k installer disks to update the II I'm working on to system 7.0 (from
6.0.7), and I got the same problem you're describing. I eventually tracked
the problem to the driver for my e-net board. The driver seems to be
incompatable with 7.0. I used resEdit to delete it from the system
file, and everything appeared to work ok (no network, though). I'm
back at 6.0.7, since I need the network access.

Does this problem sound familiar to anyone else?

Have a day...

John
