Symptoms
Certain System Board and Memory Configurations with 5.19.0 and 5.19.1 May panic on boot with init level POST.
Reference Bug 6319704.


Resolution
Installing 5.19.2 or higher will fix it.

Booting with a level of POST higher than init will not panic.

Relief/Workaround
Use a level of post higher than init. Default or max can be run.

Additional Information
Several different panic strings have been seen:

Solaris[TM] 10:
#1 panic[cpu4]/thread=10408000: page_free

#2 panic[cpu4]/thread=10408000: hat_memload: loading a mapping to free page 3103a001000

#3 panic[cpu4]/thread=10408000: page_list_sub: large page on cachelist
