System panic: BAD TRAP: type=31 rp=2a101d31200 addr=8 mmu_fsr=0
occurred in module "pcie" due to a NULL pointer dereference
Workaround: Before you install the Solaris 10 10/09 OS on a PCI Express (PCIe) based SPARC
system, check if you have modied the driver.conf les as described below:
1. Change to the /kernel/drv directory.
2. Check if the parent attribute is set in the driver.conf le. If the parent attribute has been
set and the last node in the parent has the word pci in it, comment out that line. Ensure that
you comment out the entire property. For example:
# name="ACME,simple" parent="/pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@9"
# unit-address="3,1" debug-mode=12;
name="ACME,example" parent="pseudo" instance=1;
name="ACME,scsi" parent="/pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@9/scsi"
unit-address="3,1" debug-mode=12;
3. Repeat step 2 for the driver.conf les in the following directories:
■
/usr/kernel/drv
■
/platform/‘uname -i‘/drv
■
/platform/‘uname -m‘/drv
4. Install the Solaris 10 10/09 OS.
5. Install patch 127747-01.
6. Change to the directories listed in steps 1 and 3. Uncomment all the lines that were
commented out in step 2 in the driver.conf les.
