RX2600 problem on boot

[Christopher M]

I have a red light on boot and the attached errors in my event log (server powers on checks and then red flashing light comes on)

Help in understanding the logged errors would be appreciated.

Since it last booted properly, I attached a scsi storage unit to a scsi PCI card opened the top (I removed and replaced the CPU fan duct (I was curious) - buttoned it up, now it does not start.

From logs it seems, to be some HW attached which is not supported by system. Any deviced attached to USB ports ? Can you try removing any additional external devices installed ?

I had a keyboard and monitor attached initially, but I have removed them (I have attached a mouse previously as well, but not this go 'round). I have tried booting with and without the scsi terminators on the card, but have not attached the scsi storage again.

to sum up, tried removing all usb and attached devices and it still does not want to boot.

...but now I get a different error message in the system logs (there is a reference to the memory now)

...so, by removing the usb items, I was able to get one step closer to the issue. I reseated my memory modules (checked for the memory error in the forums and used the fix)after which, the system booted. Thank you hari!

Glad to know I could be of some help to resolve :)

SOlution for this was to reboot w/o attached usb devices, which gave clearer error msg (memory issue) - reseated memory modules and rebooted and ran clean.
