system hang (blue screen) while starting up
This is what we have gone through:
(1) boot from cd-rom
(2) hang at jumping to bootstrap code
(3) re-doing (1) & (2) several times
(3) reboot the system
(4) hangs from the start - blue screen
We have tried on ctrl-p, ctrl-c..halt. Yet nothing changes, the blue screen remains. Any ideas of this?
Thanks in advance!

Re: system hang (blue screen) while starting up
Any disturbance like useful messages?
Are we indeed tryin to boot OpenVMS here?
(and which version eventually)
What system? Alpha? Itanium?
Any concrete output to share, or shall we just guess.
Did it ever work? What changed?
Can you make the system report devices/config?
Care to share?
What boot command used?
Regards,
Hein

Re: system hang (blue screen) while starting up
useful information, you might see if the
thing (if it is an Alpha system) is talking
to some serial console port instead of to the
workstation graphics display which I might
guess you're using.
>>>show console

--Yes, openvms V7.3-2
What system? Alpha? Itanium?
--HP Alpla
Did it ever work? What changed?
-- Yes it is working, we want to re-install the system again as for testing purpose. Booted from CD-ROM hang and we re-boot the system, and it is not coming up again.
Can you make the system report devices/config?

Re: system hang (blue screen) while starting up
Not a very complete description, is it?
> (1) boot from cd-rom
> Booted from CD-ROM [...]
> - not able to go to the console. [...]
Huh? How do you boot from a CD-ROM if you
can't get to the console (">>>" prompt)?
Please try to provide a useful description of
this system, including what you're using for
a console.
> >>>show console
Still wondering...

Re: system hang (blue screen) while starting up
After that we rebooted the system, then nothing came out. Only a blue screen
p/s: done the reboot for many times, still the same.
Any commands (other than those i tried out) to halt the system and get it to the console prompt? Thanks for your input~

Re: system hang (blue screen) while starting up
your Alpha system (what type ?) should have a HALT button somewhere. Please note that you can NOT use CTRL-P on the 'blue screen' (VGA display).
It may help you a lot, if you would use the serial console ( after >>> SET CONSOLE SERIAL and >>> INIT ). This would also allow you to force a crash and record any messages, which may show up.

Re: system hang (blue screen) while starting up
what does >>> SHOW CONSOLE report ?
Maybe it's already set to serial ?! This might explain what you're observing on the VGA screen...
