I have encountered the following problem on both a Sun 3/50 and a 3/60 I have upgraded to OS 4.1 The problem did not show up right away but first appeared about 3 weeks after loading 4.1. After bringing the machine to a halt for a couple days it went away. I upgraded the 3/60 a week or so later. Then about two weeks later both the 3/50 and the 3/60 crashed. They both went into a crash, start rebooting, crash, start rebooting loop. I eventually got the 3/60 to stay up long enough to get crash dumps off of it and send them to Sun. The only way I could make them usable was to reload the OS. I chose to reload 4.0.3 until I could get some answers from Sun. Symptoms Machine suddenly says Panic: mcl_put error and crashes Configuration Sun 3/50(Flat Top), 8 MB memory (4 MB Sun + Helios upgrade; problem also occured with Helios upgrade removed), 141 MB Sun Disk, Artecon QIC-24 tape, Monochrome.
