<P><FONT SIZE=2>Yes, we have experienced asynchronous memory faults causing panics on
51B machines at General Mills. Your answers:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>1) Approximately 6 times a year.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>2) Probably 40 corporate wide.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>3) If it happens twice on the same
machine, we use the MFAR number and replace the offending SIMM.</FONT>

</P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Good day all.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I am trying to gather as much information as I can to help analyze
persistent Asynchronous Memory Error reboots on some, if not all, of our AP51B and
WP51B boxes. These are fairly rare reboots and usually are not hard
failures. The symptom is simple, an AP, AW, or WP reboots without warning.
the /var/adm/messages file contains a message that states a Panic dump was made, the
Asynchronous Memory Error was the reason and also lists the offending memory
address. As far as I can remember, this problem has existed since the very first
'B' box was installed in our plant. Now, with nearly 100 of them in service, we
see altogether too many of them over a years time. Since we have such a large
number of 'B' boxes, it appears to Foxboro that we here at PPG are seeing more
of these faults than the rest of the customer base (thats YOU). But I
wonder???</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>If you would be so kind, please answer the following questions:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>1. Have you ever experienced this failure?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>If so, please continue:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>2. On average, how many times per year?</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>3. How many 'B' boxes do you have in service?</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>4. What method have you been using to repair (reboot, replace
cimms, replace 'B' box, etc.)</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thanks to all who participate...</FONT>
