ES40 error
I'm getting the following error on my ES40 serial console:
8>< snip ><8
Memory initialization
Loading console
Expect: 00000000.0000006E
Actual: 00000000.000000C3
XORval: 00000000.000000AD
loading program from floppy
Floppy driver error
Loading Console
Expect: 00000000.0000006E
Actual: 00000000.000000C3
XORval: 00000000.000000AD
Code execution complete (transfer control)
OpenVMS PALcode V1.98-104, Tru64 UNIX PALcode V1.92-105
8>< snip ><8
There is no output on the monitor and the LCD panel near the reset switch says "loading console". The error is reproducible (happens every warm reset).
Is this a hardware error, or could the SRM firmware be corrupt, or both?
Do I need to re-flash the SRM firmware (and if so how do I do this?) or is there some other solution?
Thanks.

Re: ES40 error
has there been a long power off event to the server?
It might be that the console is moving from serial to VGA/Does the ES40 have a graphics adapter in it?
have you checked preboot config to see what the console is set to?
hope that helps

Re: ES40 error
what does 'Show console' give back.
try switching from 'set console serial' to 'set console graphics' if you have a VGA adapter.
regards
Matt

Re: ES40 error
Actual: 00000000.000000C3" normal when jumping from serial to vga or does it indicate some sort of error? As I cannot access the P00>> prompt either via serial console or vga I can't check the SRM settings for the console. If I disconnected the monitor and keyboard would that force it to keep displaying on the serial port? Cheers.

Re: ES40 error
Yes...
diconnecting (especially the keyboard connector) forces the system to use the serial console.

Re: ES40 error
OpenVMS PALcode V1.98-104, Tru64 UNIX PALcode V1.92-105".
(this message is via the serial console)
Any ideas why it is not giving me a P00>> prompt?
Thanks

Re: ES40 error
Could be corruption.
Have you checked/changed the SRM Fail-safe jumpers on the System Mainboard? It sounds like its trying to read from floppy as if the Fail-safe jumpers are set to re-flash the system from the floppy diskettes.
http://www.compaq.com/cpq-alphaserver/firmware/readmes/es40fsl.html
Just make sure you create the diskettes with correct version of code. The ES40 uses different code for each of the different ES40 models.
Rgds,

Re: ES40 error
Can you get the RMC console ?
That may give you some more information as to what is going on.
^[^[ rmc
^=Ctrl and [=left bracket
Then:
RMC> status
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Rob
