Hello all,
I'm working on a Compaq Proliant 1600 300MHz PII with SCO openserver 5.05A that is crashing with the above error on average once a week but without any consistency (except that it seems to be happening more regularly in the morning at start of business(I thought that it may be only when users are logging in but it doesn't happen every morning)). I've saved the last three memory dumps and ran crash(ADM) on them. As an article on pcunix.com suggested (that k_trap at 0x0000000E is commonly caused by faulty memory)I replaced the memory (256MB) with known good memory. The server panic'd the following morning. (The server is a 4 hour drive away so I have to plan a visit to site).This SCO box is serving about 25 users and running an informix (I think) database.
Looking at the result of 'panic' in crash(ADM) the top of the stack is kmem_alloc then in_getmem then in_getzmem. Am I right in thinking that these are memory management functions? (the STKADDR and FRAMEPTR are the same in all crash dumps but the POSSIBLE ARGUMENTS are different). Could this still me a hardware error ie the memory slot/processor board?. the results of the last two crash dumps can be found at:
and the result of hw can befounds at
Any ideas on what could be causing this whould be greatly appreciated.
