Crash dump

Any idea why Proc has crashed here? It happened 3 times in a row at
boot time. How does one interpret such a dump?

I think only QSSL can interpret these dumps.

But the obvious question is what have you changed. If it happens during the
boot process did you just change your boot image? Can you go back you your
old boot image? (That’s what I use .altboot for.)

We didn’t change anything. Honest!
There was just this sequence of reboots which failed, followed by
success. My feeling is that the h/w is broken but I get little
sympathy - (“those s/w engineers, always blaming the h/w instead of
finding the problems in their own code”).

OK. My personal feeling is, wether the problem was sofware or hardware,

when a problem fixes itself, it’s just hiding from you. I.E. It’s probibly
still broken.

If you think it’s HW, giggle cables, cards, etc, until you get it fail
again. Then you’ll know what device it is.

Also if you happen to have spare parts around, try swapping them
and see if the problem re-occurs. Try easy stuff first, i.e. RAM.
