I have an old 4-260 with a locally-installed token ring and driver. I hope that the behaviour we are observing is not the fault of our custom driver, but it probably is. The panics never trace back through our custom driver, and all of the parameters in our custom driver seem to be in order after the crash. We are getting "panics" rather regularly (every 1 to 2 days) which usually all have the following sort of traceback: % adb -k vmunix.12 vmcore.12 physmem ffd $c _panic(0xf813900b,0xf82eeb3c,0xf8138eb0,0x80,0x7c178,0xf8306e98) + 6c _trap(0x9,0xf82eeb3c,0xf8300fb4,0x80,0x1,0x50) + 1cc fault(?) _flush_windows(0x2e,0xf82eeea4,0xf82eeeb8,0x1000,0x1fe3,0xf82eeea4) + 60 _resume(0xf81922ac,0x18,0xf8129960,0xf8129978,0xf82ef000,0xf8129978) + ec sw_bad(?) _swtch(0xf81922ac,0xf8307000,0x1,0x1,0xf7fff110,0x7a34) + 80 _sys_rttchk(0xf81922ac,0xf8306f58,0xf8306f58,0xe05,0xf8307000,0xf8304000) + 38 The key is that they all go through "flush_windows." And the initial "panic" message thinks that, usually, sendmail is running, although sometimes I have seen "xterm" and "dump." I cannot say with 100% certainty that we are always running X11R4 at the time--in fact, sometimes nothing is running on the console. Any help would be appreciated. || Elliott McCrory, Ph.
