We have an Alpha 3000/500 running DEC OSF/1 V3.2 which has been
crashing frequently the past few days, with a
panic (cpu 0): Machine check - Hardware error
I am not sure how to interpret the error logs, to see what kind
of hardware error it is. Where can I find information on reading
the messages output?
Thank you for any help.
