>YOU REALLY NEED TO BE SPECIFIC HERE.  BASED ON YOUR ERROR DESCRIPTIONS, IT SEEMED THE MACHINE SPITS OUT THE SAME ERROR AS ME.  THE SOLUTION IS ONLY UNIQUE TO ME AND MAY OR MAY NOT BE APPLICABLE TO YOU.  YOU CAN TAKE IT OR LEAVE AS IT IS APPARRENT THAT YOU HAD NOT CLEAN YOUR RAM CONTACTS.  WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MACHINE CPU WOULD DO IF THERE IS A R/W ERROR FROM YOUR RAM?.  WOULD YOUR CPU IGNORES THEM OR GIVE YOU A PANIC ERROR.  ANYWAY, THERE ARE PLENTY OF BOOKS DESCRIBING SPARC SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE.  I SUGGEST YOU SHOULD GET ONE.
