Hi Guys;

I just came from my vacation to learn that my system had crashed on Thursday
morning! Users could not access the system, and the console was frozen, with
the following messages printed on the screen.....

        PC=0011BC5C
        PD=00104128
        FP=00125080
        SP=00124F00
        
        R2.......R14 R29 saved starting at 00125088

        R2=00001000
        R3=0011CC70
        R4=00125100
        R5=001274E0
        R6=000001F0
        R7=00000000
        R8=00000001
        R9=00125100
        R10=00000002
        R11=00000000
        R12=00123F10
        R13=00000009
        R14=00000000
        R29=00000000

Has anyone encountered a similar problem? Is this a register overflow? If so
what is the likely cause? The system was powered down and booted from cold,
and appears to be working fine now, but I need to get to the bottom of this,
so I can take some preventive measures for the future. System runs DU 3.2C,
Oracle 7.2.3 and PowerHouse.
BTW syslog.dated entry for the following day showed /dev/console - I/O error!

Thanks for every help I get
