DEC Alpha Bug Check Crash

[Douglas Taylor]

I hadn't started this DEC Alpha 3000-300 since last summer, and booted 
it up so I could load the new PAK's the other day.

The result was that it completes almost the entire OpenVMS startup, but 
then crashes with the following:


%SET-I-INTSET, login interactive limit = 64, current interactive value = 0

**** OpenVMS Alpha Operating System V8.4     - BUGCHECK ****

The disk is a SCSI2SD board with an 8 GB SD card.  It had been running 
just fine, until now.

Does this crash point to a hardware or software problem?
