Common things are cron jobs, rtc problems, power supply, cold solder joints, dust inside as examples. There also can be issues with certain kernlels that may be fixed in newer versions. I do not use sun hardware, if maybe better to join a debian sun/sparc list as I would not expect many folks here to have sun/sparc specific knowledge. Did you say the other machines had the exact same issues or some thing different? The description of them is not as clear as the first one. Cheers, Kev ps.
