Ouch. A level 15 interrupt can mean different things, almost all are
rather unpleasant and point at hardware problems. So...
- does the machine run properly under Solaris?
- are the memory modules seated properly?
- are the CPU modules seated properly?
- does anything get too hot?
- does it work with only one CPU?
- did the SS20 come with these CPUs? If not - is the firmware new
enough?

good luck
Michael
