I am having a problem, and I hope you can help or direct me to someone who can. I recently upgraded my comm server to 2.2.2 and upgraded some of the hardware. The system is now: Gigabyte HX motherboard (new) Award BIOS on board IDE 2 com ports 2x16MB 60ns EDO RAM (new) 1.2GB Maxtor IDE (new) NE2000 card Trident ISA video card Usenet II 4 port Serial card Since the upgrade the machine has been rebooting at random intervals (anything from 5 minutes to 2 days) and I can find no log trace or core files. Then yesterday I caught it doing it and managed to write it down! I THINK this is exactly what it said... vm_fault: fault on nofault entry: address f296c000 then it had something about syncing the disks (it failed) and that I could press a key to stop the reboot. I did press a key but it rebooted anyway. PLEASE help!!! Is it a bad SIMM??? MB Cache? Should I disable the cache? This machine is my gateway. My ISDN is connected to it, as are all 5 of my dialup lines. This reboot thing is crippling my business! Thank you in advance for your help. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Donal <donal@brewich.com> SysAdmin of The Brewers' Witch BBS +1 713 272 7350 The Largest Pagan-oriented BBS on the Internet! http://www.brewich.com Modkin of soc.religion.paganism http://www.brewich.com/org/srp RingMaster of The WebCircle http://www.brewich.com/webcircle WebMaster of The Council of the Magickal Arts http://www.brewich.com/org/cma BW Internet Services, Houston's Pagan-owned&operated ISP http://www.bwis.com
