- The address exception is, I think, somewhere in the RMA, so could be a
- module causing the problem. I don't know what your problem is, but the
- things I would try are:
- 1) perform a R-power on to reset the CMOS-RAM.
- 2) try removing the ethernet card and see if it works then.
-
- This are the two most obvious things I can think of! If these don't help,
- it might be useful to know exactly at what point you get the error message
- - do you get the "RISC OS 2 4096K" message up, do any filing systems
- announce themselves, etc?
