[bit.listserv.novell] abend on server while running mac vaps 1.1

psyhar@UNIX.CC.EMORY.EDU (Howard Rollins) (01/11/90)

I have a 286 clone with 4 megs of memory.  Has been running with netware 2.15c
for several months.  REcently, we added the mac vaps.  For several weeks, the
vaps for ethertalk and appletalk have been running fine(using ne2000 and nl1000
respectively).  However, yesterday, we added the print services by connecting
a single laserwriter to the appletalk segment and by added the print services
vap to the server.  All was well until today when we got the following error
message: Abend: General Protection Interrupt-Runnins process MUXPRC.  If
we reboot with the vaps installed-get same or similar message within minutes.
Loading netware without vaps gives no error messages.

Anyone got ideas about what the problem is?  Our book suggests that we either
have a hardware(memory) error or a trashed copy of netware.  I think the
vaps are responsible but don't know what to do about it.

One other fact.  We also are running the lanspool vap in the server.  Haven't
tried running mac vaps without lanspool.  Could that be the problem?
Thanks for the help.

We've had similar problems, usually there is a bad print job queued up.
If you delete the print job (don't load the vaps, bring the server up,
go into sys:system and find the offending print job and delete it manually)
you might cure your problem.
