I have sporadic watchdog reset errors and machine goes to PROM. I have ultra 60 dual 450MHz. Someone told me that it could be faulty hardware (RAM for example). Anyway this kind of error never occourred me with solaris 9 installed. So I ask here if someone else has this kind of sporadic problem with other ultra type of workstations. I added debug options to the kernel but I could not trace anything useful once the machine is in PROM I have to reset it and no kernel crash dump is written to the disk at boot time. sorry aagin for boring the list thanks Rick
