Ah! Maybe that's my problem!
I have a SS20 with 2 50MHz modules in it and it sort of randomly halts as
well...though I've had uptimes as long as 6 days before a freeze.
I just got the machine and had assumed it was a kernel 2.4 issue because that
was the first version that I compiled for SMP, but your mail sheds new light
on the situation.
Sorry I don't have any actual suggestions, but thank you because I would
never have known the tidbit from the Solaris docs.
Guess it's time to go get a hypersparc module or two :)
