Hello
I encounter a problem on a PWS 433 au.
It panics while booting.
The error messages depend on the PAL revision code but here they are
(i think they are the relevant ones) :
Firmware revision: 6.8.20
Palcode: Digital Unix: 1.22
...
Module 1080:c693 not in pci option table, can't configure it
Module 1080:c693 not in pci option table, can't configure it
...
panic(cpu0) : pyxis_intrdsabl: int out of range
...
Firmware revision: 6.6.29
Palcode: Digital Unix: 1.21
...
Module 1080:c693 not in pci option table, can't configure it
Module 1080:c693 not in pci option table, can't configure it
...
trap: invalid memory read access from kernel mode
faulting virtual address : 0x...
pc of faulting address: 0x...
ra contents at time of fault: 0x...
sp contents at time of fault: 0x...
panic (cpu0) : kernel memory fault
....
What is strange is that the panic happens even when booting on the
DU 4.0C installation CD.
The PWS 433 uses a DEC vt220 as a console. No graphical display.
The video card for the display is still plugged in the PWS.
So does that mean that some hardware is broken in the PWS ?
By the way, how does "memtest" work ? I launched the command 2 hours ago
(with no args) and it's still not finished yet.
Thanks in advance.
