Helo sysmans!
I use a Tru64 V4.0D without patchkit on an AS4100. After working
for about one and a half years,
it begun to crash. After rebooting and working about five minutes to
several hours, it crashes again.
This started yesterday. There weren't _any_ changes on the system.
Although it is not a production system, it is heavily used.
(Running samba on a Windows network.)
It has an RA7000 connected to with more than 150 GB disks in sum.
Since I'm not a programmer, I can't do much with crash dump
informations (i.e. /var/adm/crash/*).
The message file has lines:
...

The last line indicates the next boot caused by the environment
variable auto_action set to restart.
The crash-data file has some lines as (I try to cut'n'paste the ones
I think can be important):

I suspect a faulty CPU and/or memory, since there were no changes,
as I mentioned before. Anyone
please help, and sorry for the long mail!
