I'm getting an issue with the topology-solaris-chiptype.c work on
Solaris 10: in the ProcessorType case, the returned value does not look
like a readable string, I'm getting "¨", which consequently poses
problems in the xml parser. Of course, googling picl_get_propinfo
"ProcessorType" returns... topology-solaris-chiptype.c ...

Can somebody have a look?

using ptrpicl -v, I'm getting

          :name  cpus
             cpu (cpu, 8900000735)
              :StateBegin        Wed Jan 18 07:18:41 2012
              :FPUType  <ERROR: Argument too big>
              :ProcessorType     \360\275^T^H

which matches what I'm getting with hwloc (0xf0 0xbd 0x14 0x8...) (yes,
it's different from by previous report because my job request got
another but similar hardware machine).
Weird, my prtpicl on my v20z (which is a Sun system) has readable fields FPUType and ProcessorType.
However, I am using an older S10 Generic_120012-11.  I'll see if I can find something newer to try.

Just tried an S10 Generic_144489-05 which has the same version of picl packages as you show below.  The system is showing readable fields, unlike yours.

I can only infer that there must be some issue with compatibility between Dell platforms and S10's initialization of the picl information.

Sorry can't be much more help,

--td
pkginfo reports picl packages as being the following version:

   VERSION:  11.10.0,REV=2005.01.21.16.34
    PSTAMP:  on10ptchfeatx20080814051153
