    This bios is right up to date....so unless there is some fix out that has
    not been released....I am at as high as I can be.

    I had crashdumps enabled and since the machine never crashed even after 2
    weeks I Was unable to capture anything.

    I wanted to add that I had never had any issues running 5.2.1 on this
    machine even with the same bios. So I am left to think something changed in
    5.3 that somehow now I am hitting.

    I cannot rule out my scsi cards/drives...so this week I will be doing a new
    install on this hardware with IDE only and then see if anything changes for
    the better.

    although as I stated before..solaris runs on these machines for a very long
    time with no unexpected reboots....

    Very hard to find out this error!
