We have installed sr10.3 on a DN3500-M9-19-R-8 (+8Mb), i.e.
a dn3500 with a disk of size 660Mb (formatted, from Apollo).
When you try to boot it off its own local disk, it crashes
before it even gets to the boot_shell, with something like:
"FAULT IN DOMAIN/OS: 3C4F1466: SR:2708 PC:3C4D2814 FF1 0010 [U]
CRASH_STATUS 00120002 PS 3C427A9A PID 001 (-- means " Illegal
instruction (OS/fault handler)").

The interesting things is that it boots disk-less off
a sr10.3 (dn4000) partner node, and then the disk can be
mounted without any problem. It also boots off its own disk
(at least until boot_shell, futher would not be meaning-
full to try ...), if you just manually put ("patch")
back a sr10.1 /sau7/domain_os (and map) file. The local disk has
otherwise exatly the same software (/com/cmt on /sys, /*,
/etc, /sau7).

HP local service rep's have told us to reinstall sr10.3,
and also done so by them self once also, but obviously this
did not help.

If You have any hints, or have such a configuration running
with sr10.3, please send me a MAIL. If this turns out to
be a sr10.3 problem, I'll summarize to the net.
