However, I've seen this panic on an AHA 1542B with a reliable SCSI disk and a new IDE controller and brand new IDE drive (both on the same ISA machine - non PCI.) As far as I've determined thus far, the frequency of the problem seems related to the the different parameters used to newfs the file system... particularly the number of inodes. - Dave R. -
