Hi,

I have a 4/110 that is getting memory errors.  It is running 1.2beta,
and dies with the messages

	mem err: ser=f8002000 sva=f85de100
	parity error register = cd1<ERR,MULTI,ENABLE,BYTE3>
	memory error
	syncing disks... done
	(etc.)

What do the ser and sva values represent?  The 'ser' value is always the 
same, while 'sva' varies.  Presumably one of them is the virtual or
physical address at which the error has occurred?

How can I figure out which SIMM is causing this (assuming that it is
a faulty SIMM).

The board has 16 1MB SIMMs installed in it.

thanks for any help,
