Folks,
I have an E450 running solaris 8. All of a sudden, the machine refuses to
start up, the following errors are displayed on the serial console.

I changed memory, CPU and Converter modules for CPU but the message
essentially remains the same.

Then I tried obdiag, with the following output

-------------------------------------------Start

ok obdiag

 Can anybody guess from the above output which device is actually faulty, is
it NVRAM chip, or something else?
Thanks
