Intermittant error causing an SCO Openserver 5.0.6 system to lock up. 1

[jrward]

Hello,
I have an SCO Openserver 5.0.6 system with an Equinox SST-64P PCI multi IO board. The system is intermittantly locking up with the error "Warning: Watchdog timer expired". I have searched the SCO and Equinox sites for a description or cause of this error. We have replaced the Equinox board but the system is now rebooting as opposed to just locking up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Have you tried removing the PCI Multi IO card and the drivers and see if the computer has any problems? Sounds like a driver/hardware issue with the PCI Multi IO card. Could be a interrupt problem where the OS has reserved a particular IRQ for a device and the PCI Multi IO card defaults to the same IRQ that is reserved. Try typing hwconfig and see if you have any IRQ conflicts.
