So it could be something like an X # server accessing memory it is not allowed to touch. On the other # hand, it could be a memory parity error, etc.. # # What were you doing at the time of the crash? Is the machine # properly cooled? at the time of the crash i had just started to compile netcat from the ports collection. i compiled it successfully after the panic (and after doing a "make distclean"). all the other stuff running was the same stuff i have running normally (apache, ntpd, several irc clients, several screen sessions, pine, sendmail). (btw, X wasn't running.) i guess "properly cooled" is kind of relative. it is sitting on my desk in my bedroom in my apartment. the place is kept at ~80F. the box itself runs without the top of the case on, so it is well-ventilated. i do know that the CPU's heatsink will actually burn me if i touch it for more than about half a second, but i don't think that is uncommon... esp. for older alphas. -brian -- --===-----=======-----------=============-----------------=================== | rbw aka bjp | god's final message to his creation: | | rbw@myplace.org | we apologize for the inconvenience. | ===================-----------------=============-----------=======-----===-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
