This morning, my 386/25 machine (Adaptec 1542b, 3 scsi disks, 1 tape)
was hung, with the following message on the console:
WARNING: AHA: mailbox-in not found
I was able to type a username at the console (and virtual consoles),
but got no response. A forced cold boot was required. What does this
error mean, and what would cause it?
The machine is running Esix Rev D.
Thanks in advance,
Bill

If you simply need more mailboxes, you may be able to increase the number allocated. I don't know about Esix, but with ISC Unix this number is AHA_NUM_MBOX which is defined in /usr/include/sys/aha1540.h. Ken Mitchum KY3B km@cs.pitt.edu
