Issue Description: 

Sun Fire x800 systems are subject to a "panic" problem at boot time
when a cPCI Dual FC Network Adapter (FRU or X-option) is installed for
the first time.  If a customer installs this board and boots the
system, they will see panic messages on the console and the boot will
fail.  However, any subsequent reboots will be successful.  This may
result in an unnecessary service call.

This cPCI board (P/N 370-0118-02) has been shipped with Sun Fire X800
systems and as an X-option.  The current estimate is that less than
1000 boards have been installed in systems and 1200 boards are in field
stock (FRUs and x-options) as of 7/12/01.  

Here's the sample error message:

The above panic condition occurs due to the system OBP code detecting
an incompatible value in the EEPROM of the new X-6748 board.  The OBP
code will proceed to reprogram this EEPROM to the correct value.  In
the process, some register values in the X6748A board are momentarily
changed and these interim contents will cause the boot process to
complain and panic.  The system will reset and then reboot, and the
problem will go away permanently.

An ECO has been generated to bring the board to 375-0118-03 since July
18, 2001. The manufacturer (QLogic) will program the EEPROM with the
compatible values so that the system OBP will not have to go through
the reprogram sequence.  Host adapters with part number 370-0118-03 or
greater will not have this problem.

Implementation:

         ---

Corrective Action: 

The following recommendation is provided as a guideline for authorized
Enterprise Services Field Representatives who may encounter the above 
mentioned problem:

For all Sun Fire x800 systems that have cPCI Dual FC Network Adapter 
boards with part number 370-0118-03, no action is required.

For all Sun Fire x800 systems that have cPCI Dual FC Network Adapter 
boards with part number 370-0118-02 must be installed into a Sun Fire 
x800 system in order to have their EEPROM code corrected.  This can
be done as part of a normal installation at a customer site, or can be
done on a test or non-production system prior to an actual production
installation.  

The host adapter can be fixed by adhering to the following guideline.

   1)  Powering down an available Sun Fire system.

   2)  Installing the host adapter into an empty cPCI slot.

   3)  Booting Solaris with "boot -rv".

   4)  Remove the board after power down.

   5)  Board is now fixed.

Implementation Footnote: 

i)   In case of MANDATORY FINs, Enterprise Services will attempt to    
     contact all affected customers to recommend implementation of 
     the FIN. 
   
ii)  For CONTROLLED PROACTIVE FINs, Enterprise Services mission critical    
     support teams will recommend implementation of the FIN  (to their  
     respective accounts), at the convenience of the customer. 

iii) For REACTIVE FINs, Enterprise Services will implement the FIN as the   
     need arises.
