[ES40-developers] access violation fun :-)

[Fausto S. <fa...@un...>]

Hello all,

some interesting news, from the installation world :-)
Today I was able to install OpenVMS 8.3 without any ACCESS VIOLATION  
error. All went fine, in about one hour and half.
I used ODS2, not ODS5.

Anyway, the installation of CXML (a layered product) generates always  
an access violation. The DHCP client doesn't work (it starts but I  
have no IP address), and if I try to use a manual IP address when I  
have to set the HOST name in the host database I have a new ACCESS  
VIOLATION, so the TCPIP doesn't work for me.

I installed successfully the UPDATE_V6 of VMS, but after the reboot I  
got a new access violation related to PTHREAD and ACME (I don't  
remember exactly the name of the process).
Then I was not able to install the VMS83A_SYS_V007 update, cause I  
have another ACCESS VIOLATION, during the product install  
(verification phase).

During this last try, the emulator hung and on the DOS console I had  
the following error, looping:

Unknown opcode: 00.00

Then when I pressed CTRL-C to stop everything, I got on the DOS  
console these other errors:

Unknown opcode: 00.00
Unknown opcode: 1c.23
Unknown opcode: 1b.06
Unknown opcode: 00.00
Unknown opcode: 00.294000
Unknown opcode: 00.00
