It would be interesting to know what SRM version you running. I have
not seen this on my AS500/266

Hello Wilko,

I am sorry for not mentioning the version:

The machine is an "alphastation 500" from digital and the srm version is
"V7.2-2".

It run perfectly under FreeBSD 4.7 but unfortunately the kernel was not
stable with having probably problems in memory so that I tried the 5.0.
This signifficantly runs more stalbe as long one does not use ipfw
command. "ipfw show" sometimes panics the kernel and on the reboot, as
well as by any other reboot, the srm console gets into an desolate
condition. Using "halt" works fine as expected.

I am quite new to all of this stuff, so if you need more detailed
information, please ask me what to check for.

with best regards

Jens

State Changed
From-To: open->closed

The SRM issue I tried hard to reproduce on my AS500 
but I could never make that happen.  

Please submit  a PR against ipfw on Alpha to address the 
panic caused by ' ipfw show'. Unaligned accesses in the 
kernel caused by ipfw need to be fixed by the ipfw maintainer.
