Hi all!

Could someone tell me How bad the following error message
on the console is?? The system is a VAX 8600 running BSD. 
Do I have to replace any boards/call the
service personnel??  Any pointers/suggestions are much appreciated.
Please respond by e-mail.

Thankyou and a Happy New Year!!

Sudheer
