[Sunhelp] I have the same probleme with my IPC.

[Magnus Abrante]

I'm actually running Solaris 7 on an IPC :-)

Here is btw the reply i sent to the same question on sunrescue, i dont
really know if it solved the problem thou..

That `window' is usually a SPARC register window, `window underflow'
is when someone tries to access a register window which isn't 
accessible.

Most likely to cause this problem is a mix of memory modules, eg you 
have a bank which has both 4 MB and 1 MB simms, it might also be a fault 
cache memory on the motherboard. 

However if you know that the simms are placed correctly it might be an 
issue with the graphics card, try to do a 
boot cdrom - install w

this will bring up an interactive installer, but bypass OpenWindows.
(Same as you will see if you boot it without a keyboard)
