I've had this happen to me a couple of times so I thought I'd better find
out what's causing it. I've got a Sparcstaton 1+ running 4.1 and a couple
of times when I've tried to boot the system from the PROM monitor prompt,
I've gotten an error message like:
checksun xxxxxxxxx != xxxxxxxxxx
Trying to boot anyway.
At least one time after I got this message, I then got a "memory out of
alignment" or some such error and it refused to boot. I've had to
reinstall everything each time after this has happened and, frankly, I'm
getting a little frustrated with the frequency of this happening. Can
anyone tell me why this is happening, what I can do to avoid it, and what
I can do so I don't have to reinstall everytime? Thanx for any help for
this poor, wretched, Sun-ignorant soul.
