9 I have no experience on Sun machines but memtest is not a definitive test for
10 your memory (do a search in this ML for bad memory and you're bound to come
11 across a link to a script for putting your memory and memory controllers
12 through their paces). Furthermore I see an Oops coming from your second
13 processor, but I am not sure if this is because of bad memory.

15 Since this is a repeatable failure, a quick test would be to replace the
16 memory modules (one at a time) with a good specimen from one of your other
17 machines.
