We've been getting numerous crashes on our Sun-4/280 and our Sun dealer
here hasn't been able to solve the problem. The console reports a "BAD
TRAP" followed by errors such as "data fault", "text fault", and "memory
alignment error". The system usually reboots itself but not always. So far
we replaced three boards, including the CPU, memory, and ethernet boards.
Has anyone out there ever seen this type of crash and knows what the root
of the problem is?
