6811922 PCIE init err info failed BDF 0x0 on snv_109 (Ultra 20 M2)

I asked about this before but never got a complete answer.  Let's try again...

I have an Ultra 20, not an Ultra 20 M2, does that mean this doesn't apply?

I believe the issue affects both the Ultra 20 and the Ultra 20 M2.

If it does apply, can someone tell me how to determine what my firmware
version is, and how to upgrade it if it's too old?  I found the download
referenced above, but it comes with no instructions at all, and a web
search didn't turn up anything.

The easiest way to find out the firmware version on that platform would
be to run "/usr/sbin/smbios" and look for the SMB_TYPE_BIOS section.
There should be a "Version String" field.  Alternatively, the BIOS
should report its version when the system is powered on.  For the Ultra
20, it looks like the "Sun Ultra 20 Workstation Supplemental 1.8 ISO
Image" contains the 2.3.0 BIOS which can be burned on a CD and then
booted.  It should prompt you at that point with a menu which will
flash the new BIOS into place.
