After my last posting describing my problem with kernel panics while
doing ftps to my DOS pc I thought I would include a couple of things
about my setup. This is after Thad's hectoring me about using a
MS-DOS pc :-) (It's a joke son). Anyway, still do not have any good
suggestions about the problem and here is the output of:
(a) /etc/lddrv/drivers
ate
nipc
kbd
cmb
ether
(b) /etc/lddrv/lddrv -s
DEVNAME ID BLK CHAR LINE SIZE ADDR FLAGS
wind 0 -1 7 -1 0x9000 0x54000 ALLOC BOUND
ate 1 -1 -1 -1 0x1000 0x5d000 ALLOC BOUND
nipc 2 -1 -1 -1 0x7000 0x360000 ALLOC BOUND
kbd 3 -1 10 -1 0x1000 0x5e000 ALLOC BOUND
cmb 4 -1 -1 -1 0x3000 0x367000 ALLOC BOUND
ether 5 -1 11 -1 0x13000 0x36a000 ALLOC BOUND
Neither of these looks very weird to me. So again any ideas or should
I just live with it. It seems to be dependent on system activity and
I avoid ftps like the plague when news is unbatching. I have run
memory tests a while back and did not discover anything.
Oh the panic is a NMI error but I suspect that is rather generic.
Thanks

The FIXDISK2.0+IN didn't uninstall the old ipc driver, and it works that way!? > >Oh the panic is a NMI error but I suspect that is rather generic. Just what kept hitting me! I cured it only by moving disks and cards from a 3B1 w/2MB ram on board to a 7300 w/1MB ram. NO software changes. The hard drives were mounted external to the cpu housing. Eventually, I'm going to expand the onboard ram in the 7300 to 2MB. See if that brings back the problems. (The 7300 IS a newer version of the motherboard, but don't ask me which revision till next time I go after dust bunnies. :-) The one distinguishing characteristic that comes to mind is that the second ic expansion area from where the ICUS expansion socket goes has a trimpot in place. I had to find another spare chip area, since I did the whole ICUS mod on the motherboard. (The 7300 is the only machine I purchased NEW, and that was at the closeout price of $649, so it had to be a fairly late machine.) Both the 3b1 and the 7300 had the DRUN patch factory installed. I've finally gotten another ethernet card, so maybe I can try to trace what is happening in that machine. (First, I'm going back into the 3b1 to move its ICUS mod to all on the motherboard, as well.) I wish that someone had some board extenders, so I could test things with most of the system buttoned up.
