Hi,

I am upgrading my SS10 clone from netBSD 2.1 to 3.0 and while doing so,
I got memory errors that I have trouble understanding:

Async registers (mid 8): afsr=3D0<AFA=3D0>; afva=3D0x00

Are these errors in the CPU cache?
I have two dual 40MHZ HyperSPARC modules installed, so could this be
caused by insufficient cooling?
Or do I need to replace one of my normal ram modules?

Thanks, Joerg
