Hello everybody,

I've got an OS/2 machine that intends to crash with the next error msg:
The System detected an Internal Processing error at Location # # 0168:f f f 262 ea - 000e:c2ea.
60000, 9084
07860683
Internal revision 14.046A_W4
The System is stopped. Record all of the above information and contact your service representative.

I have no idea what this means and couldn't find anything about this error. Maybe someone can help me out.
Thanx in advance.

Harald

This kind of crashes are usually related to an activity that OS/2 was performing IMMEDIATELY before the crash.

If the system was performing fine priorly, then do some detective work. Perhaps you added a new setting or a new device driver, you installed a program that modified your Config.sys, etc., etc..

If you always had analogous problems, then make sure that upon a fresh OS/2 installation you update your system with the latest system fixpacks and the corresponding device driver updates BEFORE you configure the video subsystem out of the VGA default.

Additionally, backup your system any time you add support for some option and reaply the fixpacks because your system may have been down leveled.

If you want to suppress the interruption caused by the crash and instead log the crash message to the boot partition, the documentation for the latest fixpacks suggest that you add the following line to your Config.sys:

SUPPRESSPOPUPS=X:

where X is the drive letter of your boot partition. This option merely allows you more flexibility to discover the problem--it does not solve it!

Wish you well.
