* If you have ``logic parity'' instead of true parity you have defeated * 75 % of the purpose of even having parity on memory. 75%? I thought that was 100% ;) (Ok, maybe it can check the memory bus failure, but how often would that happen?) * I would highly * encorage you to try a swapout with some ``real parity'' memory and * more than likely watch your problem go away... I'd never buy a "logic parity" board myself, but unfortunately, these machines are donated to our project (they aren't even supposed to be running FreeBSD!) so I can't change anything in them. :( So, do you think this is a memory problem? Is there some other test I can run, other than stressing the SCSI system? (It doesn't crash when I run the "fast bcopy" benchmark, and I think that thing stresses the memory system a lot....) Satoshi
