My file server has been crashing with the same error. In my case, server operation is less critical to daily operations, so I'm taking my time trying to figure out the problem. So far, I've replaced SIMMs on the extended memory board, and the board itself in an attempt to fix things. I haven't tested yet with the board replacement. I, too, am heading down the hardware lane on this one. DOS memory diagnositics detected no problem with memory either. My configuration: - 286 10Mhz CPU, 1 mono/no lpt, 1 com, 1 360K f1, 2.5Mb RAM - QIC-02 tape controller card from Archive - 30 and 40Mb ST506 disk drives - Mountain 4150 streamer - Novell SFT NetWare v2.15 I can offer no more advice about the nature of the problem, but will be looking at related mail. Please send along solution if not posted. Thanks!

If you hash the drives and you have SFT turned on you might be right on the edge of RAM. Running out of process space (RAM) gives little or no real indication of what is really happening. ABEND is just that "ABnormal END" and can happen when the stack gets overrun. -- rick@lrark.UUCP * bang path --> uunet!ddi1!lrark!rick * Ricky Mobley * LRTUG (501) 224-9454 * 1800 Sanford Dr. #4 * GEnie Unix RT SysOp address LRARK * Little Rock, AR 72207 * WB5FDP.AR.USA.NA wb5fdp.ampr.org *
