(Blade 1000 + (2 x CPU) + Solaris 10 + OBP 4.16.4) != Booting System
Hi,
I have recently got a new processor (a X6990A) and installed it into my Blade 1000; this matches the processor that was originally in it. Ever since then I have had no success with booting Solaris with both the processors.
<the story so far>
After I first installed the CPU the system would not properly continue through the OBP section and would hang just after the first Beep. I looked this up and found that there was an OBP patch for the system that would bring the OBP version to 4.16.4. Installed that and now I get the section just after the 揝ubject to licence 厰. The cursor then freezes and all activity stops.
I connected a serial cable up to the system to see if I could get any further info out of the system, and I see that the system makes it up to the CPU detection part of the Solaris loader.
I am now completely stuck as I cannot boot the Machine with both CPU抯 installed, in fact I can even boot off the install CD抯 either (stops in the same place).
I did think that the CPU was broke but then again it will boot and load off either of them when used singularly.
</the story so far>
So I am now in need of help, if ANYONE has any suggestions then please reply.
Thanks in advance,
David
