Hi all,

I hope someone can help
I am attempting to boot VMS 1.5 and I get the following error on boot:

Here's how I would install VMS V1.5 -- I just tested this configuration
file and the step by step procedure. Both files are attached.

(Quick summary: it involves installing V3.0, booting into V3.0, then
installing V1.5 on a disk while booted into V3.0, then booting into V1.5.

All this is because V3.x has the DSC2 utility which is required to
extract VMS V1.5. DSC2 was dropped by V4.0.)

You can adjust the paths in the config file if you like. Doesn't really
matter where things lives as long as SIMH can find them all.

I used Linux paths in config file, but if you use Windows, just change
to Windows style pathnames.

Once you have installed VMS V1.5, you can uncomment the 'BOOT RP0' line
near the bottom of the config file for automatic booting into V1.5 if
you like.

Hi,

I had the same problem once.

It was because of some 'newer' devices (introduced after VMS V1.5) which cannot be handled by SYSGEN as of VMS V1.5.
So if you remove all devices not known to VMS V1.5 from your simh configuration there should be no more Bug Check.

Regards

Ulli

P.S.
Remember in simh there are some devices enabled by default, so check your configuration with 'SHOW DEVICES'.

[Zachary Kline]

Hi,
I have to ask this, just because it's the first I heard of it.
Where did you get VMS 1.5?
Thanks,
Zack.

Wow Geoff! I am impressed that you got the distro loaded into the
simulator! I don't recall a CD-ROM dist. for VMS 1.5! :)

What was the original dist. medium from which you loaded? And how?

Here's how I would install VMS V1.5 -- I just tested this configuration
file and the step by step procedure. Both files are attached.

(Quick summary: it involves installing V3.0, booting into V3.0, then
installing V1.5 on a disk while booted into V3.0, then booting into V1.5.

All this is because V3.x has the DSC2 utility which is required to
extract VMS V1.5. DSC2 was dropped by V4.0.)

You can adjust the paths in the config file if you like. Doesn't really
matter where things lives as long as SIMH can find them all.

I used Linux paths in config file, but if you use Windows, just change
to Windows style pathnames.

Once you have installed VMS V1.5, you can uncomment the 'BOOT RP0' line
near the bottom of the config file for automatic booting into V1.5 if
you like.

Hi,

I had the same problem once.

It was because of some 'newer' devices (introduced after VMS V1.5) which cannot be handled by SYSGEN as of VMS V1.5.
So if you remove all devices not known to VMS V1.5 from your simh configuration there should be no more Bug Check.

Regards

Ulli

P.S.
Remember in simh there are some devices enabled by default, so check your configuration with 'SHOW DEVICES'.

Hi,
I have to ask this, just because it's the first I heard of it.
Where did you get VMS 1.5?
Thanks,
Zack.

Wow Geoff! I am impressed that you got the distro loaded into the
simulator! I don't recall a CD-ROM dist. for VMS 1.5! :)

What was the original dist. medium from which you loaded? And how?
