Hello everyone,

Has anyone seen that following error message on Alpha 164LX.
Our customer were facing following machine check message 
in the display while setup Net BSD on the LX.
They are using Net BSD 1.2G on 164LX as a Router application.

------------------------------------------------------------------
Machine Check :

mces		= 0 X 1
vector		= 0 X 660
paran		= 0 X fffffc0000006068
pc		= 0 X fffffc000023036c
ra		= 0 X fffffc000037487c
curproc		= 0 X fffffe008aa75a00
pid		= 1022, comm = gated

panic : machine check
  stopped at debugger + 044: ret zero, (ra),
db>
----------------------------------------------------------------
My question is as below.

	- Which bad situation made "machine check" poped up on the display ?
	- Where does "machine check" come from ? (OS, BIOS, others ?)
	- Is it possible to figure out specific memory address CPU
addressed last ?
	- If  so, how could I find out ?

Any information or any tips would be really appreciate.
Thanks,
