Summary: Jumpstart E450 problem

Thanks to Wade Stuart & Unix Admin (Joe).

Synopsis points that I've either no hope, or else Ram
problem. I tried reseating faulty SIMM's without
success, so I've had to remove a group of four,
and re-jump the machine. Its working fine at the
moment, but I'll have to wait and see how it behaves
underload situations.

Thanks,

Hi!

You may have already received a similar response from
the group or found the information on sunsolve.  If
not, take a look on sunsolve at Bug ID 4350537.
Basically, you're hosed.  The contents of the Work
Around section of the report states:
They replaced:

systemboard
simms
cpus

without any success.

Sometimes the system did boot in a minimal connfig.
Sometimes reseting cpus and simms helps, but there are
still ecc errors.

Good Luck!!

-Joe
