Subject: GPI With Between 8 to 12 I/O Pending
Date: September 28, 1990

PROBLEM: Using NetWare 286 (ELS I and II, Advanced, and SFT):
If you down an operating system using the ISADISK driver
v2.04 with open files and halt the network with I/O Pending
around 10 (plus or minus 2 or 3), the server will display
the message "General protection Interrupt" (GPI). Then,
when you bring the server back up, you will get FAT "data
mirror mismatch" errors.
SOLUTION: These errors are not fatal and can be corrected by the
system or by running VREPAIR. Higher and lower I/O Pending
counts will not cause GPIs and FAT errors; the system closes
the files before halting. Although not critical, this may
cause problems when using a UPS. It has been reported to
Engineering.
Note: Only v2.04 of the ISADISK was tested but this may
also occur with earlier versions of ISADISK (or ATDISK).
