Request for Help/Information on Power Series

[Tim Hudson]

For the last *year* we have been having problems with our IRIS 4d/140. 
What I would like to know is who else has a Power Series machine and what 
sort of problems (if any) they have been having with the machine and what 
sort of response have they received from Silicon Graphics with respect
to solving the problem.

The sort of problems:
	o  PANIC: CPU N: assertion failure!  + more information
	o  invalid kpte (lots of times)
	o  efs oops (once only)
	o  PANIC: CPU N: KERNEL FAULT `Software Detected SEGV'
	o  PANIC: CPU N: KERNEL FAULT `Read Address Error' - this one 
	   seems to have gone away now - hasn't been seen for a few months
	o  CPU N goes to 100% interrupt and processes hang 

I have full core dumps and kernel stack traces and console message logs
if anyone is interested.
