The SGI in my office (athanatos) was not happy about my attempt to update
it. The update finished and the machine tried to reboot and failed. Here's
the error message:
PANIC: KERNEL FAULT
PC: 0x8802f74c ep:fffcd98
EXC CODE: 128 'software detected SEGV'
BAD addr: 0x0 cause 0x8 <CE=0, EXC=RMISS
sr: 0xff03<IM8, IM7, IM6, IM5, IM4, IM3, IM2, IM1, IPL=0, MODE=KERNEL, EXL, IE7>
What do I do now? I would guess that the answer is to reinstall the
machine, but I'll wait for a response in case anybody wants to take a look
at the machine and try to figure out why this happened.
Thankfully, the update went much more smoothly on the Sparc5.
