i've had my (68030/1.0) cube crash several times in the past few weeks with somewhat cryptic messages: Nov 30 11:25:39 sarah mach: ipl5: spurious interrupt ... Dec 3 06:15:01 sarah mach: zone "kernel map entries" empty. Dec 3 06:15:01 sarah mach: panic: (Cpu 0) zalloc ... Dec 10 18:44:57 sarah mach: ipl5: spurious interrupt Dec 11 05:30:01 sarah mach: zone "kernel map entries" empty. Dec 11 05:30:01 sarah mach: panic: (Cpu 0) zalloc ... Dec 15 10:53:35 sarah mach: ipl5: spurious interrupt Dec 16 23:00:01 sarah mach: zone "kernel map entries" empty. Dec 16 23:00:01 sarah mach: panic: (Cpu 0) zalloc (each panic message is followed by a killing all processes/reboot sequence) i don't know whether the ipl5 messages are related to the panics, but there seems to be some correlation... (and i just got another ipl5 message 5 minutes ago -- guess i'll keep my files saved) the first two times the panics happened after the machine had been idle for quite a while, but the last one happened while i was in the middle of editing (thank you FrameMaker for autosave!!). i'm not too worried, since it hasn't interfered with the machine's usability and i assume that replacing both processor board and software when i get my 68040 upgrade will make it go away, but i am curious. has anyone else seen anything like this? any idea what's happening? -- .mike.
