The machine is a pentium 133 with 96MB ram, freebsd 2.1r and its running INN1.something - Its been fine for ages and then lately every day or two it hangs without an error message - cept sunday in which I had these blocks of error messages on the screen. Im wondering if I have a bad simm. I looked and there is no light on the scsi card - I thought maybe it was a scsi hang, but then the GPF and the error 9 which sounded like software errors makes me wonder if it isnt a weak simm - or could a corrupted binary do it you think?
