Date: 24 Oct 1995 07:37:21 GMT Organization: Boston University Lines: 13 Message-ID: <46i53h$5k0@news.bu.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: acs4.bu.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Happened to work on a new SGI for the last 2 weeks running IRIX 5.3 It happened ones, that machine suddenly beeped, and put on a window, saying that it noticed a parity error. It even gave a SIMM number. I recalled last time it hapened on my FreeBSD box (panic, etc.), and prepared to reboot. To my surpise nothing happened after I pressed Ok. I don't even think any process was killed... It just continued to work. Is this a hard to implement, very much hardware related feature? -mi -- hot-dog apple-pie baseball Chevrolet
