PCI Hot-plug insert message is wrong for slots 7
and 8 (BugID 4546219)
On a Sun Fire 880 system running the Solaris 8 07/01 or 8 10/01 operating system,
the message sent to the console during a hot-plug event on PCI slots 7 and 8 reverses
the slots. If a card is inserted into slot 7, the system will reply to the console with a
message containing the following text.
Device PCI8_CARD inserted
This bug effects only the display of the incorrect slot for the insert message. The
drivers and other related hot-plug activity all occur on the correct PCI slot. When
you continue with the hot-plug procedure by pressing the hot-plug button for the
newly inserted PCI card in slot 7, the power-on message displays the correct slot
number, with a message containing the following text.
card is powered on in the slot hpc0_slot7
Note – For further information about this issue, see the SunSolve Online web site.
