Buf you're seeing "processor error corrected" messages, you're > seeing corrected memory errors. I can speak from expirience that they are capable to hang your system. Usually they are corrected very well but in some rare cases the system hangs - maybe if the correcting routine is having a ram fault as well. That doesn't seem to be a FreeBSD problem as even the SRM may hang because of this. As it was a new module I already exchanged it. -- B.Walter COSMO-Project http://www.cosmo-project.de ticso@cicely.de Usergroup info@cosmo-project.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
