We have a DEC3000-m500 that for a while has has reported self test
failures in the integral graphics - annoying but non-fatal. The system
halts after self test an won't boot automatically but well upon a "boot"
command.
After som guys here around tried to fit a too-old TC graphics card in the
machine (and quickly removing it when they found out that it didn't work)
the selftests look the same but I don't ge a ">>>" prompt upon completion
and the "The system self-test detected errors..." message. The HEX display
says "EF". We have tried the system with the built-in graphics and
keyboard and with a serial console and the behaviour is consistent.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
/Erik
