Until recently, this machine has been booting from either the internal HD or images from a BlueSCSI just fine (albeit with some of the applications that I was testing crashing the system with the same "error type 11"). I've been getting this message once the machine tries to run Finder, regardless of whether I'm booting from the internal HD or SD (and regardless of whether I skip loading extensions). The same images on the SD are known to boot into the Finder just fine on an SE, so I'm not overly-suspicious that this is a software issue, and when testing with fresh install images, I've been sure to add System Enabler 401 for the CC. Zapping PRAM hasn't changed anything (either by hotkey combo or removing the battery), and this is a recently-recapped logic board which has been working fine so far. I've maxed out the RAM on this machine, but double-checked to confirm that the error persists with the original stick (and even with only the onboard memory) to no avail.
I've been doing as much research into error type 11 as I can, but almost everything on the subject seems to be catered specifically toward the error as it pertains to PPC machines and emulators. Could this be SCSI-termination related? When I'm not using the internal HD, I've just been leaving the power molex disconnected, but the SCSI cable inserted. Testing without that internal SCSI cable connected to the HD has yielded no difference in behavior.
It's likely that these issues are unrelated, but there are also some problems I've been having with the CRT (whine, flickering, scaling somewhat-strangely in the corners of the screen) that I hope are unrelated. I may try recapping the analog board at some point for those issues, but I don't really know whether that could also help with this problem. It's worth mentioning that I also recently replaced the fan, but the issue remains regardless of whether the fan is installed in the rear casing or not, so I doubt this would be related to any sort of power-draw anomaly of the new fan.
I'm pretty new to working on vintage Macs, and would appreciate any troubleshooting advice that folks have. So far my general computer knowledge has gotten me a good amount of the way through this project, but I suspect there are still plenty of idiosyncrasies of these systems that I don't have much intuition for.
