SYMPTOMS

You have a system with more than one CPU and Services for Macintosh installed. Under stress, the server intermittently stops with the following error:

STOP 0x0000000a (parameter, parameter, parameter, parameter)

NOTE: This problem has been observed while using a SysKonnect FDDI adapter, but it may occur with other NDIS drivers as well.

This problem is caused because you are using a network interface card (NIC) driver that is written as a "full NDIS driver" to gain maximum performance, which causes synchronization problems in Sfmsrv.sys, a component of Services for Macintosh.
