I appreciate this post.  I really don't understand Permissions, or like having to mess around with them.  Two questions:

What if change permissions according on more than the specified folders?  For example: the ENTIRE Applications Folder?

Should I have less of a problem if I'm using e-SATA without any firewire device except the Mojo? Because I'm having the problem with my e-SATA device as well.

I read here a while back that without a Mojo or Adrenaline connected one would not get Bus Errors... after a slew of them this morning, I removed my Mojo and they're continuing.  Hmmm.  What's that mean?

No, no one said you won't get them if your DNA was discontinued. If I remember the discussion correctly, what we were saying is that the DNA is a big contributor to the errors and that they MIGHT go away without them connected.

Bad media can also cause bus errors. So can a lot of other things.

Got it.  Thanks Dog... Any hope that Avid is approaching a fix?  Or will the new PCIx hardware be the only way out?  I can't have these when my director finishes shooting.. though he put up with them on the last show.

Well, let's just say they are working on it. 3.0 has come a long way towards stability but I was still getting the errors occasionally using the DNAs.

One of the guys on 3.0, running no DNA interface, is getting the bus error. I believe that he brought over some old titles. That might be one to test/watch.

So, this is me having Bus Errors, better, just one Bus Error during Initializing the Application.

See the attached pic.

Each time it stops at initialize AVX2 Host...

Tried Todd´s suggestion to check and change the permission of the folders, but it is still occuring.

 i thought i could play with 3.0.1 at least once on my kinda antique mac.

any ideas on that?

regards

Do you have any plugs installed in the AVX2 folder @ Library>Application Support>Avid?

If so, first check the permissions on that folder, if that's not it, remove the plugs in that folder, trash it and try again.

you´re pretty quick...

there´s a lot of Boris.avx stuff in there.

When i put that in an folder on the desktop and start the MC again, the same message appears on exact the same place?

Did you delete that folder though?

now i have...

try to start and...

same Error message

Did anything change?

nope

Ok, then you are going to have to make sure that you do a clean install of the Tiger software (an archive and install should suffice) and then try the install of 3.0.1 again.
