3532.0. "ds90tl, fatal bugcheck" by MUNICH::BLASCH () Wed May 14 1997 11:32

    Hi,
    
    a DS90TL is having a   "Fatal bugcheck error"  with
    
    PC=07841714, SP=078c5f4c, SR=2000, C=200
    
    DS90TL uses MNENG1  V1.1a BL45-11.
    
    
    
    Does anyone know this fatal bugcheck?
    
    Thanks in advance

	RE: .0 Crash Code 200 is code checksum failure. Somehow the executable code and constant data section of the image experienced a "change" since the last pass of checksum calculation. This checksumming constantly occurs in the background (idle time). It is most often caused by an uninitialized pointer that causes a write to code space. Virtually impossible to diagnose without a crash dump, and even then often very difficult. Regards, Dave

	How old is it? I never saw a problem with the 90TL until our last batch of 20 where we had about 5 bad ones. This was shortly before the 90TL EOL'd. Wasn't the reason for the EOL the lack of the right kind of simms/drams; my guess is that they were scraping the bottom of barrel to meet the final part commitment.

	That simms are part of the reason for end of lifing the hardware and we believe may be an influence in the failures we've been seeing. We are debugging a failing module to find the root. We don't know enough just yet to say it's the simm or another component in the path. If you have a newer 90TL that's consistently crashing and are running a recient firmware image you can try swapping the simm. This worked at a couple of sites. An India site swapped out these simms: SIMM mfg is SEC Korea, SEC KMM536256BWG-8 9601 KOREA with ones labeled SAMSUNG (SEC and SAMSUNG are the same manufacturer). You can expect to see BWG-7 (70ns) and BWG-8 (80ns) parts and either should work. The part numbers are 20-35191-06 for the 70ns part and 20-35191-05 for the 80ns.
