Hello, I've tried booting OS 2009.03 and also textinstall of b134 on my 4x opteron 875 box and both kernels complains about opteron erratum 123 not being patched by bios. However I've contacted HP support and the guy there claims that their latest BIOS (which I'm using) patches this issue. So my question is is this opteron erratum mis-detected by OpenSolaris? I've also tried booting latest Solaris 10 on the box (kernel Generic_141445-09) and it does not complain about this erratum. For your information the snipped of /var/adm/messages from b134 looks:
