Hi Brad,

Thanks to reply my email. I have tried to clean all connection on CPU but
these messages always scrolling. Beside them, there are another ones
"Warning processor level 4 interrupt not serviced" scrolling on the
console. Any relation these messages with the previous ones ("WARNING:
vme0:
Spurious VMEbus interrupt, level 4,vector 0xfa" ) ?
Thanks for your help.

Best Regards,
Millan R
