Hi --

We currently are running IBM's Transarc AFS client (version 3.6-3.45) on a
few Compaq machines running Tru64 5.1a without a problem. However, we ran
into a stumbling block when trying to run on a Compaq Alpha DS20E.
After several minutes the system would reboot itself and reported
messages such as below.

snic_string:  0xfffffc00009e7058 = "resettodr: cpu not master"
_paniccpu:  1
_panic_thread:  0xfffffc00413e1180
_preserved_message_buffer_begin:
struct {
 hdr = struct {
        msg_magic = 0x880524
        msg_bufx = 0x7ef
        msg_bufr = 0x7b0
        msg_size = 0x1ffe0
 }

Our DS20E has 2 processors, and 2GB of RAM.  Our DS20E is the only machine
that has more than 1 CPU.  I speculate that perhaps this may be the problem.  I was just wondering if
Has anyone come across this or a similar situation?  Apparently IBM has
dropped support for AFS on Tru64 as of June 30th, 2003.
Thanks for any input.
regards,
         ---Andy
