Hi All,

I received new memory from Microway today, installed it and booted NetBSD.
Everything appeared normal until I executed a Ctrl-F in vi (while editing
/etc/rc.conf...). At this point I started seeing corruption of the image on
the monitor, failure to respond to the keyboard and partly obscured messages
saying something about "...machine check." After the eventual crash back to
the SRM console, the following information was displayed:

halt code = 2
kernel stack not valid halt
PC=fffffc000048b8cc

Am I still suffering from a hardware problem? Any help would be much
appreciated!

Hi All!

I loaded NetBSD on my LX164-based machine this past weekend. The install was
fast and virtually effortless! Unfortunately, I've never been able to boot
NetBSD and have it run for more than a couple of minutes before experiencing
a machine check. The information printed on the SRM console is as follows:

halted CPU 0

halt code = 7
machine check while in PAL mode
PC = 1c6b8

Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening? Is there anything I
can do to further investigate and identify the problem?

Any help would be much appreciated!
