Find original post below.

The vast majority of folks felt that I had a bad cpu.

A couple of others suggested testing the crdom (it's a sun 
Gold-something or other, with a sun part number <it's original> and 
works fine) and making sure the jumpers were set correctly (they are).

I have contacted the vendor (I bought it used) for a refund.

Thanks to all who responded.
