RTC flag dayDate: Wed, 24 Aug 2005 10:40:42 -0700 (PDT) From: Minh Tran <minht at uask4it dot sfbay dot sun dot com> To: onnv-gate at onnv dot eng dot sun dot com, on-all at sun dot com, chicago_sw at sun dot com, Subject: RTC flag day If you do not run ONNV on Chicago platforms, you may ignore this message. The putback to ONNV of: 6303424 I2C RTC driver needs to be replaced by South Bridge RTC driver on Chicago constitutes a major flag day for Chicago platform users. Beginning with snv_22, the RTC in the ULi southbridge will now be used for real time clock functions instead of Fire I2C-based RTC. Chicago systems which do not have a ULi Southbridge chip will not be able to boot, and will see the following output, for example: ok boot Boot device: /pci@1e,600000/pci@0/pci@a/pci@0/LSILogic,sas@1/disk@0,0:a File and args: SunOS Release 5.10 Version Generic_118822-15 64-bit Copyright 1983-2005 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved. Use is subject to license terms. ERROR: Last Trap: Fast Data Access MMU Miss ERROR: Last Trap: Fast Data Access MMU Miss Error -256 ok If you have a Chicago system without a ULi southbridge chip you will need to have a motherboard upgrade in order to run subsequent versions of ONNV. In order to support older systems which do not have a ULi sothbridge chip, a special netinstall version will be created which supports the Fire I2C-base RTC.
