Hello,

I can reproduce the error on one system (440Mhz module, Creator 3D). A second system (333MHz, Creator3D) works with Solaris 10 3/05 (both disk and CDROM). A third system (440MHz, PGX64) boots Solaris 10 3/05 from CDROM.

On the first system Solaris nv_16 is installed and running fine. At the time of installation the system was equipped with a 300MHz module. After installation the module was replaced with the 440MHz module.

Trying to boot Solaris nv_16 from CD is now unsuccessful, but booting the installed Solaris nv_16 from disk works !

All systems are SPARCengine Ultra AXi and use the same OBP version (3.10.13).

A search in the bug database at opensolaris.org was unsuccessful (no hits).

If your system or Solaris 10 are under support contract (spectrum or software plan) open a case with Sun.
