Sunblade 100 freeze with Solaris 9

Hi all

    I have had little luck with the usual suspects (sunsolve, google,
sunmanages archive), so I'm posting as a question. My apologies if I
missed this somewhere obvious.

We have a number of sunblade 100's and sunblade 150's that were originally
running sunOS 5.8. Some of the early 100's exhibited an annoying lock-up
bug that eventually seemed to be fixed by an OBP upgrade.

All was fine until we finally got around to upgrading all the machine to
Solaris 9. Since then we have maybe four of the 100's again exhibiting
this lock-up - frozen hard enough that only holding down the power key
will get its attention.

I've tried all combinations of up to the minute patch levels, OBP and
OS, to no avail.

I am curious to know if anyone else has seen this sort of behavior and,
if so, if anyone came up with a solution other than making them an
expensive doorstop.

I will, of course, summarize anything worth summarizing.

Thanks

Tim
