Need Help With a 11/44

Jerry wrote: Hi Jerry, I downloaded the 11/44 manuals from a bitsaver mirror site to work on my 11/44. In the process, I updated my webpages for the /44 a lot. Of course, nothing beats the manual, but I wrote the switch settings grouped together. The manual goes on describing the next module, and then shows a switch settings table that belongs to a previously discussed module. It was a bit confusing before I noticed that ... Regarding the message ... don't know, I haven't seen that one. It only tell you that the /44 is in console mode, shows the address of the stackpointer (and says so) and then the contents of the SP. Now ..., *when* it prints this message is perhaps described in the maintenance manual. I start guessing now. The contents of the SP seems to be an address in the boot PROM address range for device #3 which should be in socket E50 ... Look at the contents of the start addresses of the boot PROMs to see what's on the UBI (or pull the board and inspect visually). If one of those boot PROMs is for a device that you have (connected) you can boot the /44 also with the simple start command, for example if you have 23-751A9 (RL) in socket E49, load a bootable RL01 or RL02 pack in your drive and hit control-P on the console terminal to get the console prompt (>>>). Then enter "s 17773204" (& carriage return) to boot from DL0: without executing CPU diagnostics. See my UBI page. I can boot my /44 now and it runs fine, but I have not yet ran the XXDP diags for the CPU ... If I stop RT-11, and use the Start command on the >>> prompt to boot RT-11 again, the system hangs. However, if I cycle power (UNLOAD the RL pack of course first!) and LOAD the RL02 pack again, I can boot fine using the Start command ... huh? But, as said, I haven't run XXDP! - Henk.
