Re: System don't boot.
your startup seems to hang...
Try a conversational minimum boot first:
>>> B/1
...
SYSBOOT> SET STARTUP_P1 "MIN"
SYSBOOT> C
This will skip auto-configuration of devices and everything in SYSTARTUP_V5.COM. Does it finish ? If so, you should be able to log in.

Re: System don't boot.
It works , then I tried a reboot next and the reboot was also in MIN status.
How can I reconfigure the startup in nomal mode please ?
As the startup in MIN works , do you have any idea about what could not work in normal mode ?
Thank you for your help.

Re: System don't boot.
if it works and you can login, you could manually execute some of the steps from the real startup:
$ SET CONTROL=Y
$ SET CONTROL=T
$ SET TERM/BROADCAST
$ MC SYSGEN IO AUTO ! to auto-configure devices
$ SHOW DEV ! are all expected devices visible
$ @SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_V5.com
If that hangs, type CTRL-T to see which image may be executing. Try to abort with CTRL-C or CTRL-Y
If necessary, trun on $ SET VERIFY and invoke the indivudal commands from SYSTARTUP_V5.COM
To reset to full startup, use
$ MC SYSGEN
SYSGEN> USE CURRENT
SYSGEN> SET STARTUP_P1 ""
SYSGEN> WRITE CURRENT
SYSGEN> EXIT

Re: System don't boot.
$ SET CONTROL=Y
$ SET CONTROL=T
$ SET TERM/BROADCAST
$ MC SYSGEN IO AUTO => No IO in MC SYSGEN ?
If necessary, trun on $ SET VERIFY : How ?
and invoke the indivudal commands from SYSTARTUP_V5.COM
Thanks.

Re: System don't boot.
sorry, on VAX it's $ MC SYSGEN AUTO ALL
First try to invoke @SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_V5.COM. If it hangs, try CTRL-T, then CTRL-Y to abort.
You need to find out, which command causes the startup to hang. You could try
$ SET VERIFY
$ @SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_V5.COM

Solutionso there might be some hardware-related problem... Could you interrupt the SYSGEN image ?
Try $ MC SYSGEN AUTO ALL/LOG - this will output a message for each device configured. Then you may be able to guess, where the problem is.
Once you have a suspect, try MC SYSGEN AUTO ALL/EXCLUDE=(device-name)

Re: System don't boot.
If not, have you generated a stand alone backup kit on an alternate disk?

Re: System don't boot.
There's probably a hardware problem lurking here.
A bad Q-bus board or an incorrectly-configured Q-bus can encounter this behavior.
If you're not comfortable with the Q-bus and with swapping hardware, it's likely time to call your preferred hardware service vendor.
