Error "Timeout waiting for ARP/RAPR packet ..." 1

[jerryshao]

Hi,

When I tried to boot a new Sun Netra t1 AC200, I got a error "Timeout waiting for ARP/RAPR packet ...". And the Netra couldn't startup.

This message means the installation server has something wrong if we are going to boot our system over the network. But I've never intended to do that.

Finally, I found the reason. The OpenBoot variable "diag-switch?" had been set to "true". Usually, this should be set to "false". So I typed "setenv diag-switch? false" at the "ok" prompt. This problem never happens again.

I can't understand why a brand-new Netra would have this problem!

Regards,

Jerry.

did your machine come installed? It may have been setup using an install server and never changed back.


just a thought

Hi all,

I had this on a sunos 5.7 enterprise server.
When i set the env to boot disk it "went away"
