abends after creating CACHE volume for BM

[POI]

Hello,

- NW5.1sp6, ds7.60a, traditional volumes, BM3.6

Needed hardware description:
- AIC78u2.ham loaded for SCSI controller,
- first SCSI channel: 2x HDD IBM 18GB (SYS:, mirrored), 1x HDD SEAGATE 36GB
- second SCSI channel: empty

When the BM cache location is: SYS:xxxxxxx (any directory), everything works
well. But when I try to tune up my server as in TID10018669 (BM proxy and
cache performance and tuning), he hung with abends.
I create a volume CACHE: with no compression, no sub-allocation, no long
names support and 8k blocks.
Allways there are two abends:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------
1.
Server XXX halted Monday, 2004 January 26 8:23:13
Abend 2 on P00: Server-5.00j-0: Found spinlock to be busy with single
processor active

Registers:
CS = 0008 DS = 0010 ES = 0010 FS = 0010 GS = 0010 SS = 0010
EAX = 3F74C3D0 EBX = 3F74C2E0 ECX = 3F74C3D0 EDX = 00000001
ESI = 3F74C2E0 EDI = FFFFFFFF EBP = 3F74C2E0 ESP = D37E6F50
EIP = 0002C29E FLAGS = 00000002
0002C29E 83C404 ADD ESP,00000004
EIP in UNKNOWN memory area

Additional Information:
The NetWare OS detected a problem with the system while executing a
process owned by LOADER.EXE. It may be the source of the problem or there
may have been a memory corruption.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.
Server XXX halted Monday, 2004 January 26 8:23:14
Abend 3 on P00: Server-5.00j-1834: Kernel detected a fast worktodo or a
legacy polling routine going to sleep

Registers:

EIP = FC012FDA FLAGS = 00000002
FC012FDA 83C404 ADD ESP,00000004
EIP in SERVER.NLM at code start +00012FDAh

Additional Information:
The NetWare OS detected a problem with the system while executing a
process owned by SERVER.NLM. It may be the source of the problem or there
may have been a memory corruption.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I changed memory modules in the server but it not helped. What is going
wrong? Any idea?
