I suspect bad RAM. Any ideas ? Would I see this if the RAM is too slow ? (They are 70ns, so they should be fine.) Now, I haven't seen any kind of coredump from this machine. Invoking panic manually from DDB gets me: | aha0: DMA beyond end of ISA: 0x10000... (I'm sure it means 16mb). I have an Adaptec 1542CF and 64mb RAM. I do have: options BOUNCE_BUFFERS in the kernel. Another machine with a 1542CF and 64mb similarly does not produce core dumps. I'd really appreciate any help or comments!
