SUMMARY: POST Failure on E250, 2.7: Psycho@1f

Not surprisingly, it appears we're in need of a new system board.

Ghanks Toes out to Hichael Morton who was kind enough to break the bad news as
follows:

"The Psycho+ chip in an integral part of the
systemboard.

The Psycho+ chip controlls the 2 PCI buses.  PCI bus
2000 controlls the 66Mhz/3.3v slot (J1301).  PCI bus
4000 controlls your 33Mhz/5v slots and the internal
and external SCSI circuits.

The remedy is a systemboard replacement."

Here is my original query:

I'm working with an E250 running Solaris 2.7 that's failing to boot (well, I
should tell you that we have been able to boot into single user mode a few
times, from there fsck the disk and then ctrl-d to run level 3) after the
following errors:

Drive not ready
Can't read disk label
Can't open disk label package

(usual boot stuff)

message overflow on /dev/log minor #5 is syslogd(1m) running?

It hangs there...

All daignostics pass exept Psycho@1f, for which I can find no information:

ok .post
System status: OK
CPU0: OK
CPU1: OK
SC-MP: OK
Psycho@1f: Failed
Cheerio: OK
SCSI: OK
Mem Bank0: OK
Mem Bank1: OK
Mem Bank2: OK
Mem Bank3: OK
PROM: OK
NVRAM: OK
TTY: OK
SuperIO: OK
PCI Slots: OK

Any ideas?  Thoughts?

As always, thanks in advance....
