My original question was:
Folks --
last week I posted a question and summary concerning the correct drivers
for the SBus Prestoserve and Sol 2.4. Driver version 2.4.1 and patch
100714-03 was the answer.
I have had no luck making this work, however. The driver loads just fine, but
the patch causes the system the panic and crash. This happened in 2 seperate
systems (an SS1 and SS2) a total of 3 times with virgin loads of Solaris. I
sorta suspect a bad Prestoserve, but this board worked in the system
while running SunOS 4.1.2 just fine.
Anyone got an idea?
Thanks to all who replied:

The consensus it that the 101714-03 patch breaks the Prestoserve on a
SPARCstation 1 like mine, and that several people use the unpatched version
of the Prestoserve drivers (2.4.1) on Solaris 2.4 without problems.
Sun field service was not aware of any board revision issues, so
I passed on that possibility.
So this morning, I tried the same and will keep my fingers crossed!
Thanks to all who replied!!
