- I am upgrading my SS10 clone from netBSD 2.1 to 3.0 and while doing so,

- Are these errors in the CPU cache?
Nope.
- Or do I need to replace one of my normal ram modules?
Yup.. The memory error message above suggest that it's
the module at J0304 on the main board. Try removing/replacing
that module, and start stressing the memory system again.. I
suspect the errors will be gone.
