- It looks to me that there is a hardware or memory conflict probably due
- to a configuration error of a board, adapter or something else.
- How much RAM memory do you have?
- People will need more info in order to suggest any solution.
- We once had this problem after adding a 3Com Etherlink adapter causing
- a memory conflict between the adapter cache memory and some other system
- memory address. Reconfiguring the address for the adapter cache solved the
- problem.
