System hangs while booting

[Superstar]

I try to boot OVMS 7.3-2 which is running on a ES47 server which hangs while adding the CPU and doesn't proceed further, see below and advice

P00>> boot
(boot dga1.1002.0.3.1 -flags 0)
block 0 of dga1.1002.0.3.1 is a valid boot block
reading 1143 blocks from dga1.1002.0.3.1
bootstrap code read in

initializing HWRPB at 10000
GCT base = 556000

To get a more verbose output, boot with flags 0,20000 . The command to do this is

P00>> boot -flags 0,20000

This will enable more boot logging, which might help in determining the exact point of hang. Please post the verbose boot log.

Hi,

try for force a crash, when the system hangs. Press halt button or CTRL-P then >>> crash. You could then boot from CD and look at the crashdump.

Did it ever work ? What changed ?
