Summary: Ultra reboot with panic[cpu1]

Hi,

We call our vendor to change the two problem memory chips. Now the workstation
works fine now.

Thank blymn@awadi.com.au (Brett Lymn) and fletch@ttmc.com (Fletcher B. Cocquyt)

Regards,

Alan Lam

My original question:

Our Ultra 2 UPA/SBus (2 X UltraSPARC 168MHz)' @ 84.0 MHz always reboots from time to time.
 Form /var/adm/messages and dmesg,
 it seems that there are cpu panic from time to time.
 
 Is there any solution patch for that or just need to swap the hardware?
 
 Thanks.
 
 Regards,
 
 Alan

You need to swap the hardware - this tells you which simm the machine
thinks is bad:

Check/replace your memory SIMMS in slots 402 and 502. One idea is to re-arrange the SIMMS to see if the problem follows the simms to a new slot. Sometimes the SIMMS just need to be re-seated.

Also you can do the following at the OK prompt: setenv diag-switch? true reset

and watch the memory test for any errors.

Fletch.
