Disksuite problem with refurb disks.

Hi,

I hate asking these kinds of questions, because normally I would not be
in such a position. I have a V210 running Solaris 9 12/03 112233-10.
I've tried to mirror two 146GB drives and I'm getting following error
after a reboot:

Boot device: /pci@1c,600000/scsi@2/disk@0,0 File and args: -s

skipping system dump - no dump device configured
rebooting...

I've tried doing this originally through our Jumpstart server, which we
know works since it has jumpstarted systems with 36GB and 73GB disks.
I've also tried mirroring the boot disks manually, same problem. At
this point I think it's a problem with the disks. Management bought the
146GB disks refurbished. The disks were originally Seagate ST3146807LC
drives. However, the disk label reports:

CSC146GB-10KREFURBISHED-0101 cyl 49780 alt 2 hd 8 sec 720

I don't have a non-refurbished 146GB drive to test things out with. I
do know that things are working with other disks that are non-refurbs.
Without disksuite, the boot disk is bootable.

Any ideas on why this would not work or how to fix it?
