[I forgot to put SUMMARY in the subject]
Managers,
I replaced the CPUs and memory modules, same thing happened. I also
tried to remove the PGX64 card. Same thing. panic.
I tried init 0 with Solaris 8 on the same 280R (had an spare disk with
Solaris 8). Did not result in panic.... I also tried init 0 on another
280R with Solaris 9. No panic.
So, I reinstalled Solaris 9 from the 4/04 media and skipped path installation.
Everything works fine now. My guess is that a kernel patch caused the
panic...
New kernel:
SunOS 5.9 Generic_112233-12 64-bit
Old kernel:
SunOS 5.9 Generic_118558-02 64-bit
Other suggestions:
o Check out the PCI-controller.
o Run CTEact on the core-files from /var/crash and send the results to
Sun so that they can identify the offending process.
Thanks to all that replied!!
Best regards,
Nils
