From the 8086 Book,(Osborne/McGraw Hill), circa 1980 (and still the best reference on entry level real mode 80x86 architexture). Begin RTFM: Page 7-4: NMI is a non-maskable interrupt request input. NMU is an edge triggered input. Should NMI go from low to high, the 8086 will complete

Source of NMI greatly depends on your hardware brand, since NMI is wired differently on many motherboards. In my Intel server box, for example, NMI can be caused by internal "intstrumentation", or diagnostics (like when some fan RPM drops below certain level, or temperature raises). I

2001-06-17 Thread Omer Zak
However, cosmic rays would probably disturb the state of a RAM bit before being strong enough to affect the voltage on a specific CPU leg. Then such a disturbance would cause parity errors to happen. A piece of history: In the early 1980's, there was a serious problem of "soft errors" in dynamic

e between 2c and 2d (bit 0) is clock 2 enable (the clock used to drive the speaker). Maybe there was a "beep" at the nmi occured? Some bioses send some apm interrupts even when it is disabled, so you might want to compile basic apm support in the kernel. And make sure the ram is ok. Do you
