Hi Vext01,

As you've had the machine in bits and have replaced the guts, I'm going to stick my neck out and suggest that the connections should be good as they should all have been re-seated during component changes. I'd maybe tempted to swap the PSU if you have one, but the maintenance indicator would generally be on if it was faulty.

It might be that just pulling and re-seating the power supply would be enough.

I'm kind of running out of steam on this, you've changed the MOBO and the CPU's. The fault has remained pretty consistent, from the environmentals it doesn't seem to be power related. I'ts unlikely that this will make any difference, but can you capture the ALOM config and then run a sc> resetsc you'll have to go through the setting up the ALOM again (Although you should just need to change the password as the rest should work).

Additionally something has just come to the fore, didn't happen to me - it was an engineer that I worked with. He had a fault on a v210 or it may have been a v240 - where he replaced the Mother Board and couldn't get to the ok prompt.

Turned out that he'd mixed the matched pairs of memory and that causes the OBP not to start, it didn't supply an error message either - I've been in touch with him and although the Dimm's were the same speed - they had different manufacturers and that was enough.


Regards

V210 to V440

I'm currently trying to move a perfectly find harddrive from a V210 to a V440. From what I can tell, the disk labeling a bit different, (V210 is c1t0d0 and V440 is c0t0d0).

HME(4)							   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						    HME(4)

NAME

     hme -- Sun Microelectronics STP2002-STQ Ethernet interfaces device driver

SYNOPSIS

     hme* at pci? dev ? function ?
     hme* at sbus? slot ? offset ?

DESCRIPTION

     The hme driver supports Sun Microelectronics STP2002-STQ Fast Ethernet interfaces.

HARDWARE

     The hme driver supports the on-board Ethernet interfaces of many Sun UltraSPARC workstation and server models.

     Cards supported by the hme driver include:

     Sun PCI SunSwift Adapter (``SUNW,hme'')
     Sun SBus SunSwift Adapter (``hme'' and ``SUNW,hme'')
     Sun PCI Sun100BaseT Adapter 2.0 (``SUNW,hme'')
     Sun SBus Sun100BaseT 2.0 (``SUNW,hme'')
     Sun PCI Quad FastEthernet Controller (``SUNW,qfe'')
     Sun SBus Quad FastEthernet Controller (``SUNW,qfe'')

     The STP2002 family supports hardware checksumming to assist in computing IPv4 TCP/UDP checksums.  The hme driver supports this feature of the
     chip.  See ifconfig(8) for information on how to enable this feature.

SEE ALSO

     http://mediacast.sun.com/users/Barton808/media/STP2002QFP-FEPs_UG.pdf, April 1996.

HISTORY

     The hme driver first appeared in NetBSD 1.5.

AUTHORS

     The hme driver was written by Paul Kranenburg <pk@NetBSD.org>.

BUGS

     Connecting a MII transceiver on those cards that support it will cause the RJ45 connector to be detected as PHY instance 1, instead of the
     default instance 0.
