Message-ID: <29ulf9$5al@shrike.und.ac.za> From: maltby@beastie.cs.und.ac.za (Gavin Maltby) Date: 18 Oct 93 17:58:01 GMT Organization: University of Natal (Durban), South Africa Article-I.D.: shrike.29ulf9$5al NNTP-Posting-Host: beastie.cs.und.ac.za X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL1] Lines: 16 Hi, Since installing NetBSD 0.9 we get 'stray int 7' messages all the time. Shortly after booting it stops logging these 'cos there are too many of them. Originally I thought it was a hardware problem to be tracked down sometime when we had time, but I noticed a posting here once that also mentioned the same error. That post made it sound as if the error had been seen by many others. Please could anybody with info on this email me. I suspect that this may be the cause of the random reboots that occur when the machine is heavily loaded (no reason is logged). Thanks in advance Gavin
