Hi all,
A user here has two Netra 1125's in his lab. The two machines are almost
identical:
2x440mhz Ultra-Sparc-II processors, Boot v3.29, one with 512MB RAM, the
other with 1024MB RAM
We loaded Solaris 8 01/01 onto the first machine, and when it boots up it
says the kernel is running in 64-bit. Cool. We load the second machine with
the same OS, however this one says it in 32-bit mode. Huh?
I grabbed my copy of Solaris 8 10/01 and we loaded that onto the problem
machine. Still 32-bit mode. Not sure what to do next.
Questions: Is this a hardware problem? If so, what specifically? Processors?
Does the EEPROM have anything to do with telling the machine whether to use
32 or 64 bit?
Thanks for any help!
-Gary
