UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Firstly Hi all!!, im NEW!! and on here hoping that someone might be able to offer me some help... i have a server that keeps crashing every few days with the error message:

Code:

PANIC KERNAL-MODE ADDRESS FAULT ON USER ADDRESS 0X14
KERNAL PAGE FAULT FROM (CS:EIP)=(100:EF71B5BD)
EAX=EF822000 EBX=D588D460 ECX = 3 EDX=D61A1D44 ESI = 0 EDI=EF822F80 EBP-D37B7820 ESP=EF6D5284 
DEBUGGER 
EAX:EF822000 EBX:D588D460 ECX: 3 EDX:D61A1D44 EFL: 10206 ESI: 0
EDI: EF822F80 ESP:EF6D527C EBP:D37B7820 REGSET: 0
DLPI_SEND_IOCACK+D: MOVL 0X14(%ESI), EAX

I have googled it but no joy.. i know NOTHING about UNIX and thought that someone here might just be able to advise me if nothing else whether this is a hardware error or a software error??

any input at all would be great!!

thanks for taking the time to read!

Which OS and Version? And what gives you the idea that anyone one a forum "The UNIX and Linux Forums" would know anything about UNIX?

i have no idea on the OS or Version eek im 100 miles away from the server at the moment..... i'll try and find out now....

I'm guessing it's SCO from 'DLPI_SEND_IOCACK'...

forgive my incompitence... but what does SCO from 'DLPI_SEND_IOCACK'... mean?? is it a fault in the software or something relivent to hardware?? thanks for your reply mate!!

Instead of guessing, post the exact operating system and platform.

It means I see that error in relation to the UNIX operating system SCO. Maybe. I know no more about it. Post what your OS actually is or we can't help!
