Not necessarily, it depends on how the OS is configuring the ACPI CPU states. At the log prompt is a big CPU load and disk i/o spurt and it might drain the system enough, but linux & windows access patterns don't happend to draw enough juice at one point to cause the memory error. Otherwise it must be a chipset config issue or a quirk in the controller which would have to be debugged with the hardware in hand. Definitely not a problem that would be debuggable over email. -- Doug White | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve dwhite@gumbysoft.com | www.FreeBSD.org
