[Sunhelp] Level 15 Interrupt

[Fuerst, Robert C. (Chris)]

This is a memory error.  The J0300 is the address of the slot in the
machine. If you look at the MB arrangement it should show what slot the
offending chip is in. I would first try removing them all, give it a good
cleaning with dust-off, etc.  Plugging them all back in and trying it again.
If the memory is truly bad it will give you the same error. If you need the
machine ASAP or it's mission critical I would just remove that stick,
rearrange your RAM and boot.

My own opinion,
1st

	Hello all,

	Mayday!  Mayday!

	I have a SPARCStation 5 machine, running SunOS 5.6.

	I can't get my machine to get past the "OK" prompt;
	in other words, that bad-boy won't boot to run-level
	3.

	When I enter "reset" at the "OK" prompt, after the
	screen turns on, I see a streaming scroll of error
	messages about:

	Error: Physical Address = 0x5C9F
	expected = 0xffffffff
	observed = 0xffffbfff
	U-number = J0300

	And this repeats for approximately between 250 and 500
	times.

	Following the stream of messages, the last item reads:
	    
	       Level 15 Interrupt

	Well, it don't sound or look good at this point.  Anybody
	got an idea of what's happened to me?

	Thanks to everyone who takes the time to read and respond
	to my question.

	Trevor C.
