Hi All,
I just got a packet of a new SUN E4500 (sun4u machine).
But after its first OS installation with an old OS of 2.5.1:
It sent an error message "The IDPROM contents are invalid" which appears
after banner (The banner looks as expected).
Tried to reset the NVRAM (using set-defaults or set-nvram and power cycle
it), didn't work.
Our sunmanagers archive says that it could be due to something wrong on
NVRAM chip (or its battery).
I wonder, this machine is just a new one, the NVRAM and its battery should
be okay.
Any idea how to check their condition? Is there something else causing the
problem, like a minimum OBP version to be install? Or a chip replacement is
the only way to resolve this kind of problem ?
Many thanks for your time.
A summary will follow.
BR, slamet
