We've had the same problem with a 5149-08 440Mhz IIi on an Ultra 10. That
same panic message, plus lots of other CPU-related freezes/crashes/reboots.
The machine would stay up anywhere from a few minutes to a week before
failing.

The CPU's been replaced four times since November. One of them was DOA. The
third was a week ago, the fourth yesterday. Yesterday's engineer replaced
the system board, too, on the off-chance that a glitch there might be
triggering the CPU problem.

In the course of all that, he tested the power supply, says he found a
problem there that might be causing the CPU problem, and so replaced the
power supply.

So, if the machine holds up, we won't know what the source of the problem
actually was. (Not that I'll want to know it was the power supply all
along....)

I have 220R with 2*450Mhz processors and 1Gb of Memeory..OS is Solaris-7
Yesterday the system crashed with a core dump and i got the following
messages
logged in /var/adm/messages:::

unix: panic[cpu0]/thread=300002216a0:

CPU0 Ecache Writeback Data Parity Error: AFSR 0x00000000.00800004 AFAR
0x000001fe.01800800

Savecore: reboot after panic: CPU0 Ecache Writeback Data Parity Error: AFSR
0x00000000.00800004 AFAR 0x000001fe.01800800

Could you possibly tell me what went wrong ???
