Hello, I've been seeing various errors and kernel hangs with NetBSD-8 on Sun Ultra 10. This is a rather old machine, so I'm assuming hardware is starting to fail, etc. I did run max diagnostics at openboot and it didn't find any issues. Normally, I would run NetBSD build.sh and sooner or later GCC would segfault, or kernel would hang. I was also seeing the following errors logged: Mar 15 17:53:42 ultra10 /netbsd: data error type 32 sfsr=0 sfva=425de020 afsr=400008 afva=17ff7b6fbf8 tf=0x1186c7ed0 So I upgraded to latest snapshot and changed from GENERIC to GENERIC.UP and it seems much more stable now. Not seen any kernel hangs for a few hours, but I'm still running build.sh and it's too early to celebrate. A few questions though, has anyone noticed anything similar when running GENERIC? Could these be some race conditions which are not present in uniprocessor kernel?
