Subject: GPI/NMI Abends

Here is a some usefull information that Novell Tech Support gave me in
trying to decipher GPI or NMI abends.

When the server abends, type "deb" at the server console. Deb will not be
echoed on the screen and a "*" should appear. If the dash appears type i61
and enter. A return code should appear.

Return code ranges Possible conflict
------------------- ------------------
> 80 mem. problems or bad cpu.

40-7F problems with cards in the
server. ie network boards,
graphics board or disk cntl.

< 3F corrupted network operating
system. (solution: regenerate
operating system).

Your can also type ? and the GPI/NMI error message will re-appear. I hope this
will help you track down the causes of GPI and NMI abends.
