- I have a PI 4D/20 with IRIX 3.3.2 running on it.
- I currently have no support contract and an upgrade to
- IRIX 4.0 will cost me over 2000 dollars which is nearing
- what I paid for the machine itself. I won't be able to
- upgrade anytime soon but I'm having tremendous problems.
- IRIX will crash on me up to 3 or 4 times a day, perhaps
- it's not 3.3.2 but something I am doing, I'm not sure.
- It can happen while a program is running or while nothing
- is happening at all. Sometimes I get an actually KERNAL
- PANIC or a MEMORY FAULT. Usually, 4sight simply freezes
- up in some odd way and I have to punch reset button. I've
- noticed actually that the machine seems to crash less when
- I'm working on it. I maanaged to keep it up for almost nine
- hours straight this weekend until I went off for a few
- hours and it was dead. Is 3.3.2 known to be this buggy?
- Could I have a hardware problem? Any help is appreciated
- GREATLY!
