Well, guess who just pegged the Bull$h*t-o-meter.
I should have known better, The Sun Documentation is usually right about
things like this, but I figured, "Hey, I can learn something new..."
Well, here's the test results (just in case anyone might have wondered) :
16 DSIMMs = boot
8 DSIMMs = boot
4 DSIMMs = boot
2 DSIMMs = no boot
1 DSIMM = no boot.
in an Ultra2 model 2200, S/N 837T0090
So, what Model of Ultra 2 were you using to "test memory" hmm?
