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
