We have several microvax II's that we are using as fileservers. The are
running ultrix 3.1. Periodically (about once every 24 hours) they crash
with ``qe: Non existant memory interrupt''. A peek at if_qe.c reveales the
following comment:
* 1 Aug 85 -- rjl
* Panic on a non-existent memory interrupt and the case where a packet
* was chained. The first should never happen because non-existant
* memory interrupts cause a bus reset. The second should never happen
* because we hang 2k input buffers on the device.
Then in the interupt routine the code:
if( csr & QE_RCV_INT )
qerint( unit );
if( csr & QE_XMIT_INT )
qetint( unit );
if( csr & QE_NEX_MEM_INT )
panic("qe: Non existant memory interrupt");
So it would appear that this is an error condition from the controller
itself. Has anyone seen this before? Is there a fix? What is a
non-existent memory interrupt?
