DEC diagnostics show all well; configuration at boot shows 8meg, but shortly after (not immediately) programs start running in the upper 4 Meg (EMC memory) the system crashes either with no panic or various flavors of panics, plus strange happenings on user terminals. Removing the DEC memory and running only with EMC memory, UNIX gets through configure but never comes out of fsck on root (disk is flashing) . . . HOWEVER, booting up VMS with only EMC memory works fine. What magic do I need? It is as if the interleaving or or page mapping is faltering . . .. thanks dunigan@ornl-msr
