AREV Specific

THE SYSTEM

We are running Arev 2.12 with the NLM v1.10 on SMP Netware 4.11 on a Compaq Proliant 5000 w/ 2 Pentium Pro 166's. I am a Systems Engineer and not an AREV developer so I am not so familiar with the "back-end" of our AREV setup.

THE SITUATION

Our Novell server has been locking up multiple times in the last few days. The following is the first console message coming up on the screen:

Register State for Thread: Rev. Server 9

EAX=0006862F EBX=26034D20 ECX=0287E000 EDX=65724665

ESI=00000003 EDI=26FEA010 EBP=26D11712 ESP=26D112E8

EIP=F1149772 CR3=002AF000 FLAGS=00010206

INSTR: F1149772 3B420C CMP EAX,EDX+0C= ?

   A Thread Caused a Memory Fault (GPI/PAGE FAULT)
   tid: FB026660  proc: 00  thr_name: Rev. Server     9  nlm_name:
   LHIPXSER.NLM
Then the server proceeds to go 100% utilization and steadily goes down within 10 minutes or so. What finally kills it, seems to be Netware putting a core process to sleep which shouldn't, then it dies in debug mode.

I have checked the hardware on the server, swapped the 640Mb's RAM and need help from here.

THE QUESTION

Could this be some rogue AREV code out ther corrupting memory or bad hadrware on our server. I'm just trying to get a feeling from the AREV community as to where I should look to troubleshoot this.

Thank You in advance for your time.

Did your upgrade an Adaptec driver for a SCSI controller perhaps?

I did see some problems with that on this webpage!

Search for the string "100%" if you are interested!
