Hi all!

I've just got this message (2.0.30 with patches for tekram DC390 and
removable scsi patch):

Uhhuh. NMI received. Dazed and confused, but trying to continue
You probably have a hardware problem with your RAM chips or a
power saving mode enabled.

AMD5-PR1600, Triton IIHX, 64MB/parity, Tekram DC390, SCSI Fireball 2GB,
Iomega JAZ, 3c509.

Could it be related to the troubling sleep mode of the jaz?

Another thing I've noticed on the system: the VTs stop working as
soon as I exit from the shell. No login appears, and init goes up
to 32% CPU. I've rebooted, now everything works fine.
