I have a 43P Model 240 dual CPU Workstation running AIX 4.3.2. with CDE. It
frequently hangs up with a "185" at the LED code. It happens sometimes when
I was editting a file in the "vi". I have tried to locate the problem by
running the diagnostic for all resources (i.e. diag), but the result is "no
trouble is found". Also, sometimes the system cannot be booted successfully
and hangs with "185" even before the CDE login box come out. Does anyone
know whether this problem comes from hardware or software?

Usually, LED 185 is a MACHINECHECK-type problem, indicating some sort
of hardware problem (especially if you boot the machine and get this
problem before the machine attempts to start the operating system --
LED 299 appears at this point).

You might want to check your error log and/or call your IBM Hardware
Support rep.
