[comp.sys.att] Screen slowdown, fianlly got a kernel panic!

wtm@neoucom.UUCP (Bill Mayhew) (01/02/88)

Today just about 45 minutes ago, I was bitten again by the slowdown
bug.  After jotting the message down, I ran through the following
hardware tests:

processor
memory & parity
hard disk
real tiem clock

Nothing out of the ordinary was reported by the diagnostics.


I tried doing a ps -fe in the slowdown, but alas, the system
crashed before ps -fe could do its thing.  I don't know for sure
what pid 82 was.


Here is the grizly message; note there wasn't anything recorded in
/usr/adm/unix.log:

type = 0x3, pid = 82, pc = 0x13EF6, rx = 0x2600, p = 0x4A340
GSR = DD00, BSR0 = FC34, BSR1 = 0, PHYSPF = 30
D0=2FF0001, D1=FFFF, D2=704, D3=70036
D4=FFFFFC43, D5=FFFF0000, D6=DD00, D7=430000
A0=59E8C, A1=24FEC, A2=59E8C, A3=2FF18FF
A4=70A54, A5=3000, A6=7078A, A7=2FFE14


panic: addr fault in kernel

Please record panic message.
Press hardware reset to reboot.

Any ideas out there on what it is?
