SUMMARY: Crashing Sparc10 50 + Solaris 2.2

The problem seemed to have gone away after applying the latest 100999
patch (100999-38).

Someone suggested to check for overlapping file systems. That was the
first thing I checked as soon as we started experiencing those problems.
I didn't see any overlaps.

One suggested that I send a symbolic trace. How do I do that?

Thanks to all who replied.

One thing to look for is make sure that your file systems do not
overlap. I speak from experience :^()

A numeric crash is kinda useless - do you have a symbolic trace around?

i had a similar problem on a 690 ; i replaced the CPU's ; it worked for a week
and died; after changing a lot of stuff ; the problem was in the IPI controller
check your SCSI controller or IPI controller

If you replied and are not in this list, then I probably haven't
received your wonderful ideas yet. Thank you anyway.
