SUMMARY: E450 400 Mhz crashing repeatedly

Thanks to Luc I. Suryo...

>Can you the box in maintenance mode so that it can run extensive tests to
see if that points out a particular problem?

...who also suggested prtdiag -v which gave me a clue that it's a memory
problem in bank 3.  I put the previously removed CPU back in, pulled the
offending RAM and am trying it overnight.  However, James points out...

masked by another component.

about a memory problem on one

replaced the entire set and it

issues.  Turned out that there

running.

...leading me to take tdiallo's suggestion...

>Better call SUN  I think you have harware problem
