TechDoc  : Abend -> Polling process
Composer : Ecl@inter.NL.net (LESi)
Targets  : NetWare *.*
Keywords : Polling process abends
Revision : Fri  04-08-1995

Reasons for an Abend on Polling process (i.e. Running Process: Interrupt
Service Routine)

1) Not all required patches loaded or loaded in the wrong .ncf file
2) Insufficient server memory
3) Eventhough enough memory, fragmented memory pools due to SYS: mounting
   before all memory was registered (>16mB)
4) Energy save feature(s) enabled in servers PC bios
5) Keyboard bios bugged (is a different chip then system bios)
6) Using a flacky/invalid IRQ on the server NIC (i.e. irq 2/9 - irq 14/15)
7) A flacky third party (backup?) nlm
8) Overheating (inside server or harddisk(s) case(s))
9) Static interferance via extended cables
10) Outdated pserver.nlm
11) Server NIC going bad
12) Server has been downed and started without a hard reset

And ofcourse, a real new OS bug is also possible.
