Recently whilst running a user PPP session I noticed the kernel reported
the following error

Jan 30 12:37:35 t-rex /kernel: sio1: 2 more silo overflows (total 2)

Can someone please tell me what this means ?
How do I go about rectifying the problem ?

Are there any good kernel debugging sources available ?

I'm relatively new to UNIX administration and would appreciate any
help/advice.

Regards,
