I was having a problem with an Ultra/2 machine randomly crashing for no
apparent reason. The messages file would show BAD TRAP errors on one of the
dual 300mhz cpus. The problem was that there was a bad batch of cpu's for
the Ultra/2s. And we had one of them. When i posted the question here I was
immediatly mailed by about 20 people who had had the same problem, so I was
pretty sure it was the bad cpus. Sun sent me two new cpus, and I poped them
in and haven't had any more problems. Thanks for all of your replys, it
saved me tons of time in figuring the problem out, well without it, I would
have never guess bad cpus. Sun tech. immediatly aggreed that the problem
was bad cpus.
The stranged thing I thought was that the machine ran fine for about 5
months before completly going bonkers. Once it crashed for the first time,
it wouldn't run stable for anything. Thanks again for everyone who replied.
