1213.0. "A8400 -Can't allocate log buffer" by NNTPD::"[email protected]" (Gabriele Mattacchione) Thu May 29 1997 05:19

Hi,

an our A8400 is going to a singular situation:

it seem stop all process (it is became not accessible from network)
and at console appear this message in loop:

tlaser: Can't allocate error log buffer
tlaser: Can't allocate error log buffer
tlaser: Can't allocate error log buffer


tlaser: Can't allocate error log buffer
tlaser: Can't allocate error log buffer
tlaser: Can't allocate error log buffer
Eh?
 log buffer
tlaser: Can't allocate error log buffer
.....
.....


halted CPU0				<-we have digit a CTRL/P
halt code = 2				
kernel stack not valid halt


tlaser: Can't alloca
Eh?

tlaser: Can't allocate error log 
Eh?

tlaser: Can't allocate error log buffer

halted CPU0				<-we have digit a CTRL/P
halt code =2

PC = fffffc00004e5edc

CPU0 restarting

.......
tlaser: Can't alloca
Eh?

tlaser: Can't allocate error log 
Eh?

tlaser: Can't allocate error log buffer

P00>>>S					<-we have digit a CTRL/P and
					  an involontary s
00067AC8  !  RET            R31,(R26) dH

at this time other CTRL/P cannot help.
The control panel LEDs have this indication

Key On/enable 		Run		Fault	
    ON			BLINK		OFF


No Green led is off on the TLSB system bus

No errorlog entry can be found, no message in /var/adm/messages and 
/var/adm/syslog.dated/.../syslog.log etc etc , has be registred
at time of the hang.

To restart the system we have power down the A8400 and the device
attacched to it included the HSZ40, because the new startup report a
cam_logger: CAM_ERROR packet


What do you mean about ?
How is possible to isolate a fru (I suppose the problem is hardware) ?

Alphaserver 8400 console V4.8-6 SROMV3.1
4 Cpu's  kn7cc-ab
4 GB Ram ms7cc-ab

Operating System: Dec unix 3.2g

Thanks for your help
Gabriele
