MCHK???   Could this be "Machine Check"?   If so I would try booting something
else up to see if it also fails.

Anyone have experience of installing Ultrix?

I tried to boot off the Ultrix VAX 4.4 CD but got an error after a while, something like MCHK.
Any ideas? Do I need to provide some fancy boot flags? This is onto a VAXserver 3100/95.

Regards, Mark.

                      
              
OpenVMS runs fine... although I suppose I should try booting OpenVMS from CD to be sure.

      

It could also mean "media check"...

It is an official Ultrix CD - I had no problems reading the bookreader documentation cdrom on my 3000/600 under tru64, however, that doesn't mean an awful lot...
