Hallo,

thanks to all who answered :

they told me to check cables and terminator what I will do.

today morning I touched one of the disks and it felt like a hot cooking
plate. I changed the fan, and it seems that the disk is working well.
But the error (cam_logger: CAM_ERROR packet) is still there and the system
hangs at the same point.

In the moment I'm dumping the filesets (in single user mode) and that
seems to be o.k.
Also a filecheck (with /sbin/bcheckrc in single user mode) worked fine.
I think that all doesn't look like disk problems, or what do you mean ?

The next thing that should happen at the point, the system hangs is to
start NFS automounter amd service.

Could there be something wrong with the network components ?

Still hoping to your hints and hoping you understand my german English

My original posting :

hallo,

urgent call for help

my AlphaStation 600 5/266 hangs during startup.

during the startup-sequence it tells me :

cam_logger: CAM_ERROR packet
cam_logger: bus 1
isp_probe

this message arrrives for bus 1 and bus 0

for one time he told me :

ISP BUSY status for mailbox operations during common init_delaying

then the startup goes on and the last thing I see is the startup from afs

the last line : found 2015 non-empty cache files (20%)

Then the system hangs.

boot in single user-mode is o.k.

The event/error-logger uerf tells some error events :

OS EVENT TYPE 199. CAM SCSI
SYSTEM ID x0005000F
SYSTYPE x00000000

-UNIT INFORMATION -

CLASS x0000 DISK
SUSYSTEM x0000 DISK
BUS# x0000

                                LUN X0
                                TARGET x1

The output of uerf I've written from the display of the machine, I hope
it's correct and complete.

Do you have any ideas ? Is it the hardware, the disk ?

Anything I can do, test ?
