Hi,

I have a problem on a SunFire 280R after upgrading the firmware (patch
118323-01), the system reboot even if nothing is done on the machine.

we got thismessage twice on the console :

Fatal Error Repported by : (PCI-PBM)
Probing system device

then the server reboot

any idea to fix this ?

thanks

I suppose you could reflash the firmware to see if maybe it was just a bad
flash.
Do you have a way to hook up a NULL modem to ttya?
If so, then try setting diag-level to max and diag-switch? to true and see
what errors get called out during POST.

Is a power supply unplugged or do you only have a single power supply in the
server?
