Hello, I've got an UltraSPARC10 running the 2.6.14.4 kernel. It is itermittenly hanging. Usually without an error. I did get this today however:

Is this a hardware or software issue?

Try a newer kernel first, currently recommended is gentoo-sources-2.6.15-r4.

have you done a memory test lately on these sparc? I caught mine this way.

The kernel is fairly stable unless you got experimental drivers installed.

If it's OOPSing on different situtations then it's a safe bet something hardware-related is broken.
