Boot hangs

Pham Hung — Wed, 20 Aug 2003 10:30:56 GMT

My B2600 hangs during boot up. Screen stops at "Booting ..." after boot device has been found. LCD shows "FLT CE33" after "INI CE00". I've tried to access Boot Console Handler but couldn't see Boot Console prompt, although main menu has appeared on the screen (last lines on the screen were:
"DIsplay Redisplay the current menu
HElp [|] Display help....")
Thanks.

FLT CE33 is the error indicating that the system is unable to find the primary boot path.

check whether all the cables are connected properly to the root device.

It could also be that the boot device has gone bad

Thanks

The "FLT CE33" is an Initial System Load (ISL) error related to the booting of the root device. It is reflecting an additional err to the flt ...

Please check connection, ... to your boot devices, seams to be a hw problem around that.

Was the system working before?
Are all the connections to disks, etc, correct.

Can you boot from the recovery CD?

You aren't even getting to ISL, so it might be a problem with your boot path or the boot disk. Boot from the recovery CD and check all is ok.
