Ok, I did some further analysis. Dissassembling shows that Benjamin's report doesn't really contain useful data. His machine took the bus error interrupt while processing some other exception. Michael's machine took the bus error at the end of r4k_flush_page_to_ram_d32i32_r4600() which is being called during sgiwd33.c:sgiwd93_detect().c. Since the R4600 v2.0 is running rocksolid - my RM200 is up for over two weeks - the problem seems to be in the SGI specific code in the function that handles the Indy style l2 caches. Hmm... I just noticed in Benjamin's startup messages that his machine doesn't print a message (``Enabling R4600 SCACHE'') about activating the second level cache. I bet both your and Benjamin's machines don't have second level caches. Could you check the hinv output, please? William: would an attempt to manipulate the R4600 second level cache on a Indy without such a cache result in a bus error interrupt? Ralf
