Hello, I run AOS 4.3 on an APC, and for the most part it's been running well. I've got a 4-port Async card that has had 16550's shoved into the 8250 sockets, and am running modified asy drivers (by Tim Theisen, Peter Honeyman mainly) so as to keep my SLIP link running. I've been getting some odd crashes that I can't quite figure out: Here's a dump from /usr/adm/messages: Sep 28 08:15:13 telerama syslogd: restart Sep 28 08:15:13 telerama vmunix: msreset: couldn't set resolution Sep 28 08:15:13 telerama vmunix: asy0: input overrun Sep 28 08:15:13 telerama vmunix: trap: mcs_pcs=0x100<MACHINE-CHECK>, info=0x0, i ar=0xe0003e34, ics_cs=0xa870018<CHKSTOP-MASK,XLATE,STG-PROT> Sep 28 08:15:13 telerama vmunix: CSR=220000ff Sep 28 08:15:13 telerama vmunix: R0 ...

The tech docs say that there's supposed to be a bit set to prevent the cpu from dying when an I/O error occurs. This happens every couple of days or so. Currently, the SLIP link is at 19200. When I jack it up to 38400, I get similar machine checks every couple of hours (but no "mouse resolution" messages). Has anyone seen this before? Doug
