Organization: The IBM PC User Group, UK. Date: Thu, 7 Jan 1993 17:55:29 GMT Message-ID: <C0HwGI.IFC@ibmpcug.co.uk> Sender: news@ibmpcug.co.uk (News System Administration) Nntp-Posting-Host: rachel.ibmpcug.co.uk Lines: 98 A strange problem has started to occur recently on my machine. It seems to enjoy rebooting for no reason whatsoever. No messages are usually left. Occasionally, the message Panic: kmem_map too small... Updating disks before rebooting. Appears. Sometimes I get a vm_fault() error message (but rarely). Anyone any ideas where I should even start looking??? Config is below for those interested.
