Hi all,
I just had sort of a major problem on my Ultra5, after I replace my
broken RAM DIMMs with new ones : the machine boots fine, runs for a few
minutes, then goes broke with a message on the console as follows :
RED STATE EXCEPTION
TL=0000.0000.0000.005 TT=0000.0000.0000.0010
TPC=0000.0000.0100.4200 TnPC=0000.0000.0000.0100.4204
TSTATE=0000.0044.0000.1502
...
I found several messages on the web about replacement of different types
of parts (cpu, sysboard, memory), but also about a kernel patch 108528
which -if version below 21- can cause the RED STATE EXC if a correctable
error occurs in one of its DIMMs.
Checking out this patch learns me that it's for Solaris-8, while I am
running Solaris-9.
Checked out the kernel patch for Solaris-9, being 112233, which lists
(from 112233-02) the same bug "PCI ECC correctable errors can report
wrong dimm or whole bank of dimms".
Can someone confirm the likeliness of this bug being the root-cause of
those RED-STATE crashes ?
It just looks unlikely to me that both my DIMMs gone broke, and the CPU
(or more...) at the same time.
Hoping for good news ...
Rob
