Actually, I am no longer sure of this. Since I was last playing, a CPU died (the system would not even power on with this CPU plugged in). With the busted CPU removed, the system boots but the safari error remains. I then installed Solaris 10. And got this (ocr again): ---8<--- TIME EVENT-ID MSG-ID SEVERITY jun 09 00:07:22 c639728d-944d-e5d4-8431-a1a3e5f1b179 PCIEX-8OOO-5Y Major Host : blade Platform : SUNW,Sun-Blade-1000 Chassis_id Product_sn Fault class : fault.io.pci.device-invreq Affects : dev:////pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@4 faulted but still in service FRU : "MB" (hc://:product-id=SUNW,Sun-Blade-1OOO:server-id=blade/motherb oard=0) Faulty Description : The transmitting device sent an invalid request. Response : One or more device instances may be disabled Impact : Loss of services provided by the device instances associated with this fault Action : Use ’fmadm faulty’ to provide a more detailed view of this event. Please refer to the associated reference document at http://sun.com/msg/PCIEX-8OOO-5Y for the latest service procedures and policies regarding this diagnosis. --->8--- This may well be solaris' version of "safari error". Sad times for my blade. Either my disks (i've been using a couple of different ones) or the PCI bus seems broken. I may try sourcing another disk, but failing that, I think the system might be due for the sun graveyard :( -- Best Regards Edd Barrett http://www.theunixzoo.co.uk
