I'm running X386 (ET4000 server), hand patched 0.1 (wdc0/fdc0 patch, some patches required to run X11). Very often I get a csh coredump and/or the Xserver dies. This "bad block.memtop" message only seems to appear when I'm running X with a csh in xterm. I just tried to reproduce the error logging in over telnetd and the problem does not seem to appear. --Chris Christoph P. U. Kukulies kuku@acds.physik.rwth-aachen.de *** Error code 1 Stop.
