Lines: 32 I am experiencing intermittant reboots and lockups on a am386DX-40, while under considerable load (compiles, xv sessions.) A related problem is that the pallete on the xv window when it firs come up is corrupted as well. When I start up an xv session from a remote machine it works fine. I have eliminated the usr tree as a problem. I nfs mounted it from a machine that works fine. My setup is as follows: amd 386DX-40 USI 387DX-40 Orchid Pro deisgner IIs AMI BIOS Adaptec 1542B wd8003 controller 8 meg ram 0.2.1 patchkit The machine I tested it against was identical except for it being a Intel 386DX-33 and intel 387DX-33. I have tried all working CMOS setup combinations. I have isolated the problem to either a hardware problem or a problem with the root filesystem or the kernel.
