It comes up often when I'm having a bad day and need to find quick and dirty fixes, fast! One thing about the ASR commands I found out today was if the some hardware is causing faults, the disable commands aren't truely turning off a pci slot - just preventing the OS from loading from drivers to it. Had a system with a critical hardware fault and this didn't fix it; It helped prevent the errors in Solaris but would still cause kernel panics. Keep up the great work! I love your site!

I find it can be corrected using the solaris format tool, I also have the Solaris8 instalation CD, is there a way to boot from that CD an run the tool format. I apreciate your help. Thank, beautiful blog.
