Hi all,
First post and i apologize if this is the wrong mail list to post
this Q on.
I have to admit i am don't have too much experience in working with
solaris and sun hardware so any help is appreciated !!
I have recently got a new processor (a X6990A) and installed it into
my Blade 1000; this matches the processor that was originally in it.
Ever since then I have had no success with booting Solaris with both
the processors.
<the story so far>
After I first installed the CPU the system would not properly
continue through the OBP section and would hang just after the first
Beep. I looked this up and found that there was an OBP patch for the
system that would bring the OBP version to 4.16.4. Installed that and
now I get the section just after the “Subject to license …”. The
cursor then freezes and all activity stops.
I connected a serial cable up to the system to see if I could get any
further info out of the system, and I see that the system makes it up
to the CPU detection part of the Solaris loader.
I am now completely stuck as I cannot boot the Machine with both
CPU’s installed, in fact I can even boot off the install CD’s either
(stops in the same place).
I did think that the CPU was broke but then again it will boot and
load off either of them when used singularly.
I think i have figured out that it has successfully detected OTH
CPU's (hardware wise) and that it has started to load solaris !!!
</the story so far>
So I am now in need of help, if ANYONE has any suggestions then
please reply. So if anyone has any good ideas or any help at all then
please write back
Thanks in advance,
