Hi Mr Goldberg,

That's fine for me.  I'm very happy that you would like to help me.

Could you tell me what the normal procedures are in order to continue?

Thanks in advance
Best regards,
Ivan

[NOTE: Let's take this off this list for future communications]

Hi,

   The following URL gives a good overview of the process:
   http://www.opensolaris.org/os/communities/participation

   (You're in the development phase :) -- we just need to root-cause the 
problem and and come up with fix, at which point you'll test it, and we can 
integrate it.)  I'll try to help as best I can (but of course without having 
the hardware it's difficult to do direct debugging, and the general idea of 
sponsorship is to have the contributor do the heavy-lifting), including advice 
on how to debug problems like these.

   One thing we may want to do is contact Tyan and see if they can tell us what 
changed in their 2882 BIOS from v3.03 to 3.06 (since you stated that going 
back to v3.03 cleared up on of the hangs).

   Thanks,
   --S
