I'm looking for someone who may have experienced this fault (especially if
on a 959 KS/200) and could suggest possible solutions.
 
Since installing a 959 KS/200 a few weeks ago, I've experienced intermittent
system crashes with FLT B800.  The HP Response Centre says that B800 points
to a operating system problem but my 'gut feeling' is that it is a hardware
problem.  System DUMPS have not helped pin-point the problem.
 
With only 1 or 2 users connected on both iX 5.0 and 5.5 (HP Response Centre
urged the move to 5.5), crashes have occurred during the following:
 
5.0
o  doing a keep within SYSGEN,
o  storing files using Roadrunner (v 4.6.2),
o  restoring files using Roadrunner,
o  SA652 when doing a STORE /.
 
5.5
o  doing a LISTF,ACCESS within MPEX (v 25N60119),
o  doing a STORE @[log in to unmask]@.
 
Tthe only one of the above which consistently caused the problem (ie every
time) was on 5.0 storing files with RoadRunner.
 
On 5.0, after experiencing the fault, doing a START NORECOVERY would fail at
the 'Entering - System I/O configuration' stage of the boot sequence
(pointing to a possible problem with CONFIG.SYS).  The system could only be
restarted after doing a 'power off' for a few minutes.  On 5.5 after the
fault, the system restarts following a START NORECOVERY without problems.
 
Hardware configuration is:
 
959 KS200 with 512 Mbytes memory, DDS2 and CD-ROM installed on single ended
SCSI internal, and 4 x 4Gbyte disks installed internal on fast wide.
Installed in an A3312A expansion box is a second DDS2 connected to the
single ended SCSI, and 2 x 2Gbyte disks connected fast wide.
 
Help!
