Hello,

Is anyone familiar with what this crash error meesage may be telling me:

BAD TRAP: Type=7 rp=fc08f87c addr=0 mmu_fsr=0 rw=0
mv: memory address alignment
pid=1348
begin traceback
.....(Lost of number letter codes)
end traceback
panic memory address alignment

To make matter worse even though all the fans in the sparc 20 are working
it is overheating - too hot to touch and there is a faint burning smell
when I open it though I can't really see anything that is burnt...sounds
terrible huh?

Obviously the two problems are related byut anyone have a clue what it
means - is the machine just had its day?

Any help would be greatly appreciated....

Thanks,

melidna
