Hi all,
Yesterday I upgraded to 151a4 on my HP xw8200. The machine experienced four
freezes that could only be recovered by powering it off and on again.
Now, fmadm faulty lists nothing. fmdump lists nothing. fmdump -e mentions
issues with ereport.io.pci.fabric and ereport.io.pciex.fabric. These are
scattered errors across the whole period I've had OI installed.
As a point of reference I have been experiencing such reports on a
Solaris 10 system (Sun Ultra-40M2) with a Quadro FX 3500 card. The
problems were first noticed after updating from Firefox 3 to Firefox
9. The system reported a hardware fault against the video card or
associated slot within hours of installing Firefox 9 (am up to FF 12
now). The reports only seem to occur while using Firefox and only
while entering a page. Full-screen streaming video and very heavy
image related work results in no reported issues. The issues are only
reported while using Firefox.
There is no visible indication of any issues with the video card since
output is quite smooth and fast.
I had several long discussions with John Martin at Oracle about this
but he has not seen the problem.
This makes me think that the NVidia Quadro Fx 3450 in this machine has
reached the end of its days.
It is not clear since I have the some of the same issues (but without
the hangs) on my Sun Ultra-40M2 with its Quadro FX 3500 card.
Since I previously replaced the card with similar reported issues (and
they went away) it is possible that these cards only last a couple of
years.
