Can anyone tell me what this stop error means. I checked on Microsoft's Knowledge Base, but it did no explain this error:

Stop 0x000000B8 (0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00000000)
A wait operation, attach process, or yeild was attempted from a DPC routine.
Begininng dump of physical memory

This is on a 2000 Professional. The machine is setup to dual boot W2k & W98. The W2k install is on its own drive. The error occurs when the machine is left alone. I have Zonealarm running. That is about all as this is a reletively new setup.

STOP: 0x000000B8 (0x00000000,0x00000000,0x00000000,0x00000000)
ATTEMPTED_SWITCH_FROM_DPC

CAUSE
This issue can be caused by the Adsmscsi.sys driver in Storage Manager. If you analyze the dumpfile, you see thatthe Tivoli Storage Manager driver is calling KeDelayExecutionThread inside of a deferred procedure call (DPC).

RESOLUTION
To work around this issue, start the computer in Safe mode, which prevents the driver from loading, and then disable the following Tivoli services:

TSM Scheduler

TSM Server1

ADSM Server

After you stop these services, restart the computer.

To resolve this issue, visit the following Tivoli Web site to obtain an updated Windows 2000-compatible version of Storage Manager software:
