Hello all,

We have a E3500 system that refuses to boot Solaris 2.6, it resets
shortly after the OS banner comes up. If we boot with the -a flag then
we can see that the resetting happens just after specifying the root
device. Booting from an external CDROM or from net both produced the
same behavior. But we can install and run Solaris 7 just fine. THe
hardware has the following spec:

6 400MHz CPUs
6 GB RAM
2 I/O boards with 2 GBICs each
2 differential SCSI adaptors
1 ATM622 card
5 internal FC-AL disks
OBP version 3.3.21

Any ideas or comments are much appreciated

Ed Young
