Hello Sun Gurus ,

I have SUN Fire V880 server , with 8GB RAM , dual CPU . I was running
STOP+A Command and i got Ok prompt.

I have given some commands like test-net etc. and go.
Suddenly my system crashed , with PANIC: cpu thread , bad trap ....

After restart , i didnt get any crash image in /var/crash/srims directory.
srims is my host name.

Where the crash image dissapered. I checkd /etc/dumpadm.conf it was ok and
enabled.

Can any one help me out , as i want to know the reason of crash,

Thanks ,

Raj D.
