When it gets to 29, it looks like:
29…yyy30
The “y”s have umlauts above each one (diaeresis).
Where would I look to see what this means? Thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.

It looks like that on _what_? You could have
odd-ball terminal settings (parity, for
example).
Of course my snazziest VAX counts down from
95, so what do I know?

Re: OpenVMS Console Count with lowercase y with umlaut
I was starting to think that that tooth would
_never_ come out.
So, I'd expect it to have a "Set-Up" ("F3")
key which could lead you to a description of
the settings for the relevant serial port...

SolutionThat's not the POST.
The POST counts down.
If it counts upward, it's something else.
Please post what you've expunged here; the sequence from the banner and the power-up POST onward.
Test 30 is memory, and test 29 is the DZ.
And then the usual question and suggestion for old VAX boxes that have gone weird: is the TOY battery shot? This can cause loss of system time and loss of settings, and other weird behaviors. Check the network and the disks, too.
Usual console setting is 9600 baud 8N1 for VT420.

Re: OpenVMS Console Count with lowercase y with umlaut
You mean my old junk is still typical? Whew.
I was starting to feel bad. (Worse than
usual, anyway.)
Never trust anyone who says "looks like", I
always say.

Re: OpenVMS Console Count with lowercase y with umlaut
How fast does the counter grow, and to what size?
(a general question, somewhat off topic perhaps, but triggered by this question:
is it possible to run a (small) program in the console, and if so, could you find out what program is running? )

Re: OpenVMS Console Count with lowercase y with umlaut
I would vote for it being line noise.
