Hm.  From what I remember, f000xxxx is inside OBP.

that's correct :-)

Instead of randomly swapping out hardware you really should try to
diagnose the problem.  I'd turn on ddb and traptrace in the kernel and
examine the contents of the traptrace buffer after the panic.  That
should
tell us the sequence of traps that caused the panic.

FWIW, traptrace never was updated for SMP.


	Will there a hope to quickly have a fix to obtain traptrace in syslog
? I'm trying to reproduce this bug on Blade 2000 I have at home without
any
success.

Putting traptrace back in is not trivial.  It basically involves taking
all of the traptrace code that was removed in locore.s version 1.214,
enhancing it for SMP, and reinserting it into locore.s.  How good are your
SPARC assembly language skills?

	I haven't written sparc assembly for a very long time (and only on
sparc32...) :-(

	I can try to do something, but I'm not sure I have required knowledge
to do that without help.

I can give you some advice, but I don't have the time or easy access to
the hardware to re-implement traptrace.

	I will try to add code you give as soon as possible.

I have set ddb.onpanic=1. When kernel panics, it enters in ddb, but console does not respond. I only obtain :

cpu data fault: pc=f000a4b4 rpc=102dfae50 addr=1ffeec000
kernel trap 30: data access exception
Stopped in pid 23349,1 (netstat) at f000a4b4: ld [%g4 + 0x0], %g4
db{1}>

	Console is dead, I cannot obtain any backtrace :-(

	Regards,

	JKB
