Stephen,

First, I suggest that you re-seat the SunPCi card into your SPARC box.
Also re-seat the memory to your SunPCi board. Is this SunPCi card the
400 Mhz version? If so, try downloading SUNPCi software version 1.3 from
Sun's site. Check the OBP version of your SPARC box and check the BIOS
version on your SunPCi card.  All of this is important. If these are not
updated (hardware and software) your system will be problematic. Sun has
doumentation to let you know what revs you need to be at for your
machine. I've been through this myself, and to have everything in sync
is important to the stability of your box. Here is a good place to
start.

Has anyone come across this before???
