Interrupt level4 not serviced

2007-12-25 9:54:00

Sun managers,

Received a few helpful replies, but none that really addressed why a system

without SCSI is receiving this message. The "set esp" fix in /etc/system is not

recognized on systems without a SCSI adapter.

Opened a low priority service order with Sun, and they responded the next day.

It is a bug, fixed in Solaris 2.5.1 by patch 106966. They are working on porting

this patch to Solaris 2.6 and 7. Their internal bug ID is 4200283, escalation ID

518601. Neither of these are available on SunSolve online.

Guess we'll just have to live with it for now.

Thanks to:

David S. Foster

Len Rose

David Evans

Lovekesh Uppal

and of course SunService who will provide the fix, eventually.
